If you were a plant....

... what would you be and why?

 

.... arent you just being nosey? :lollol: :lollol:


( that is only a joke from another thread :hehe: )


I would be a rose. Roses have beauty, fragrance and are hardy. They can withstand our worst Winters, and are admired by many. BUT, they also have thorns for protection. :gnthb:

 

:hehe: Blue Roses, good answer though.

If I were a flower (I would probably be a weed!) I would be a wildflower. I would be a violet- lovely colour and scent, running wild and free in the countryside and sometimes overlooked.

 

still thinking about this one.......

 

I am developing an unlooked for fondness for dandelions this year.


All along the bank at the side of a very long road was at least 16 ft deep with a glorious golden army of them. I have always admired them secretly, but this late fondness for them is undeniable.


A dandelion on a hot sunny day in May I reckon.

 

Any room there for a violet Woo?? Sounds idyllic.

 

My Mum used to read this poem to me when I was a little girl, I have never forgotten it ......

The Violet

Down in a green and shady bed,
A modest violet grew;
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head
As if to hide from view.
And yet it was a lovely flower,
Its colour bright and fair;
It might have graced a rosy bower,
Instead of hiding there.
Yet thus it was content to bloom,
In modest tints arrayed;
And there diffused a sweet perfume,
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley go
This pretty flower to see;
That I may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.
