So, my MIL has been an absolute angel the past week or so, and I'd like to send her something to express my gratitude.

She is a gardener, and loves any and all of the following:
- Orchids (the rarer the better)
- Roses and tropical flowers
- Fruit trees
- Chile and other "spicy" plants

I'd like to get her a "rare" plant - something I can ship to her or have delivered to her.

Any ideas of WHAT I should get her? Something rare and beautiful that wouldn't die in Ohio is good...

Any ideas of HOW I buy/locate the item? Are there any good mail order or online shops or sources for this stuff?


Thanks for the help!!
