If you could choose be a flower, which would it be?

Sweet pea - short season but smelling gorgeous while here

I already am one. My name is a beautiful weed. And before anyone says anything , it is not Dandelion.

stargazer lily.

I would be an old fashioned rose, sweet smelling, beautiful to behold but be
careful of my thorns

I’d be a hollyhock, tall and elegant and lasting into late summer.

This question immediately made me think of a wonderful English teacher we had at school, who swept into our form room one cold February morning saying “I wonder how it feels to be a snowdrop?”.

I like the way you ve described me Fairycakes

I would choose to be a lily-of-the-valley, my favourite flower.

Just that really.

Snapdragon! 😁

Tulip. My favourite spring flowers.

A beautiful scented rose, just before it comes into full flower. I’m afraid my petals are now falling off.

I'm a shrub!
Nothing too delicate but the bees love me 🙂

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a tulip because Thumbelina emerged from one.
Now, I'd like to be a sunflower, bright and warm.

I’d be with you in the woodland fairycakes

a Daisy simple delicate to look at but hardy ,the first wee daisies in the ground outside our garden always make me smile . I love them paired with gypsophilia in vases and in baskets as gifts for new mums.They are such innocent and welcoming wee faces ,always been a favourite I even had them as my wedding flowers

I’m with your English teacher Grandma70s, I’d be a Snowdrop.
They’ve been my favourite flower for longer than I care to remember. The first show of Spring, beautiful and brave as they poke their way through often frozen soil and hang their lovely heads shyly downwards. They have just finished here.

Right now a rose with huge prickly thorns so I could stab those sending me hateful emails in the hope of getting their own way. Normally I’d like to be a deep scented Paeony or a perfumed violet.

I would be a gaillardia. Bright, cheerful and always makes me smile.

Aquilegia, my all time favourite flower.
Wild and beautiful, and just a bit old fashioned
(I’m just the old fashioned bit)

I’d be a daffodil, I was born in the spring & the picture on my peg at Infant school was a daffodil. A vase of daffs in the window always cheers me up, a sure sign brighter days are on the way.

A sunflower, big and bright and always warm in the sunflower 🌻

Can I be a hyacinth 🪻 please - an indoor one to start off with, then I’d be transferred into the garden for subsequent years.

London Pride I think - tough as old boots!

Lots of great answers. I'm enjoying reading them all

Freesia, I love the delicate smell and the colours. I had them in my wedding bouquet.
