Tulip. My favourite spring flowers.

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

Just that really.

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 ā€œI wonder how it feels to be a snowdrop?ā€.

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

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

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!
