I agree that

The advice to hold the plane off the ground is the best advice here.
A couple of years ago I was doing a check ride at Lanseria Airport in SA and the Tower had not given me clearance to land despite my timely arrival at the threshold! I realised this just as I was in the flare and held off. It was very 'educational' flying a few feet off the deck, just above the stall, trying to get a word in with the Tower.

But on a serious note, it taught me that visual frame of reference for landing. Worth trying.
