Every flower is a terminal branch consisting of a modified stem, the floral axis, or receptacle. The floral axis bears one to four types of specialized appendages, or modified leaves, usually arranged in whorls in the more advanced flowers and spirally arranged in the more primitive ones. In a typical flower the outermost whorl, the calyx, consists of a number of sepals that protect the flower bud before it blooms. The next whorl on the floral receptacle, the corolla, is composed of a number of petals, often bearing nectar-producing glands that aid in attracting pollinators (see Pollination). The next whorl, the androecium, consists of a number of stamens that produce in anthers the pollen necessary for reproduction. Two whorls of stamens may be present. The next, or innermost, whorl of the flower, called the gynoecium, consists of several carpels frequently fused to form a pistil. Each carpel contains at least one placenta to which are attached ovules, or immature seeds. The calyx and corolla are collectively known as the perianth.

The world's largest flower is the Rafflesia.  It's a gigantic red flower with white spots, and a huge central spike.  The flower gives off an intoxicating aroma that is said to be highly reminescent of rotting flesh.\n\nRafflesia is pollenated by the flies attracted to this scent.\n\nIt is found in Malaysia, and is named after the famous hotel in Singapore (the Raffles)

I say any kind of flower is great. My father died in 2000 when I was 18 and I have to say one of the things that helped me through it all were the flowers. Flowers have a cheering effect on people. Someone might be so far down in the dumps, they don't see a way to get out, but seeing this mass of flowers, all colors, all types, it reaches people and at least they can smile for even a split second.\n\nAs mentioned already, it is not a bad idea to give plants that can grow afterwards. My grandmother is very dedicated to her garden (this was her son that died, my father) so people gave roses, all different kinds, but potted. After the funeral, my grandmother took them all home and made a rose garden in my fathers name. It has been 6 years now and the flowers are in full bloom. Everytime she sees them, she smiles. They are a positive reminder of her son and the beauty of life. \n\nOf course these people may not be ones for gardening or may not even have the space to plant them, but potted plants or even trees are acceptable. I think it is wonderful to give life when someone passes. They may be gone, but there is a reminder of their life always present.

oh that is all nonsense, if dandelion had poor vascular system it wouldnt be able to grow on pretty dry soil. if you cannot sustain flowers without roots, than all flourists could look for new job, there ARE many plants with milky sap that u can put in a vase and they will last pretty long, etc. the fact is that dandelions make new and new flowers rather than having the same flower for a long time, so they even on the plant wont last very long. it is just general fact that dandelions will curl up and die in one days time. i suggest u mark a single dandelion in the garden, follow it from a bud, and check how long it will last and u will see that not MUCH longer then when u pick it. also take note of this: the individual little flowers of the inflorescence open from side to centre. so when the central ones are still closed (u see them packed together) the dandelion is quite young and will last longer. but if all individual little flowers (even the central ones) are open and shedding pollen -then it will not.
