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

I think a water lily, especially a mauve one with a yellow centre.

But, seriously, I love wild growing flowers like Bluebells, Snow Drops, Sweat Pea. So any of those, especially if they were blessed with a long life and no animals peeing on me!

Amorphophallus Titanum.
No one would forget me in a hurry! Haha

A pink foxglove.

A blue Iris, symbol of Florence and painted beautifully by Van Gogh.
The flowers I have chosen for my coffin.

An English rose, cos I am one! White and delicately scented.

Calendargirl

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

Just that really.

I love lily-of-the-valley too, Calendargirl. It was my nan's favourite flower and she bought it in the form of perfumes and soaps. I have recently bought lily-of-the-valley jewellery bc it reminds me of her.

I like the sound of your teacher, Grandma70s 😄

BlueBelle

I like the way you ve described me Fairycakes

Ah, well, BlueBelle that's because I understand bluebells perfectly, being a secret Bluebell myself

Guess? 🤔

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

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

London Pride I think - tough as old boots!

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

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

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.

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

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

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’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.

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’d be with you in the woodland fairycakes

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

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