If you could choose to be a flower, which would it be? Or maybe you don't like flowers and would choose none smile.

I would choose to be a bluebell because they are gentle, dainty and peaceful looking. My father used to take us rambling when my brother, sister and I were children. We would go into the most beautiful woodlands, which were lush and green, and filled with bluebells growing peacefully in the dappled sunlight.

If I were a bluebell, I would choose to grow in a woodland with my fellow bluebells and listen to the tinkling of a nearby stream. Birds and wildlife would visit, and perhaps a human or two; little children delighting in the sight of us. And when night fell, a badger or fox would visit ... and perhaps even a fairy or two ... grin Oops! getting carried away now, lol!

A daisy. Small, dainty, but tough as old boots!

I love this thread, it's full of good memories and it makes a change from the vitriol I read on other sites.
I would like to be a fuchsia, with pale pink sepals and dark pink petals.

Freesia. The smell is divine

Scent from heaven, Dianthus. The smell reminds me so much of family gone, they all grew them, as do I.
