Bless her heart

I'd definately be a shade of pink and probably be a Clematis :)
Delicate but strong, reliable, with a beautiful flower ! :)

Or, maybe a dark leaved Sambucus :)
Delicate and feathery with a dark look and beautiful pink flower :)

Oh heck ..... i'd be anything if i liked it !!!!!!!!

I would be a pink rose as it the best display for the longest time .

MMMMMM Mookins after much deliberation I thought and came up with Snowdrop (disambiguation) – however decided was too delicate – then thought Echinops but then - no too overpowering – so I have settled for “ Nicole Rose” that is my final answer - WHY ? soft and gentle easy on the eye - get too close and and wham watch my thorns !!!

I'd like to be a dandelion seed so that I could travel effotlessly on the breeze forever, never landing and for the sake of all mankind, never growing.

Wow....what an interesting question. I think I would have to say that I would be an English rose....perhaps "Spirit of Freedom". A hardy variety with a lovely fragrance and a beautiful soft pink.....and very disease resistant!!! LOL

As a Silver Birch, I'd be
A strong, resilient, useful tree.
In summer I'd give welcome shade
As young wild creatures round me played.
A haven for insects I'd be
If I were that whispering, white-barked tree.

Bigbumblebee that is lovely

You have all given some fab answers

I think I may have been a peony in past life. It takes me a while to bloom but when I get there I do it very well, but one knock back and I dont take it very well.

Also Im a real stubborn butt. Try to change me and I will sulk!! Just leave me to do what I do best and Im happy happy happy

What a question. I think I would like to be a potato.......
Why I here you ask, well go on then ask......
Well they are so humble yet strong have a lovely bloom and are so versitile underneath. How many other plants can you eat every day of the week without eating the same thing twice.

I would be a giant maple with spreading limbs and leaves that give shade. I would have strong limbs for children to climb in, and delightful fall leaves for them to jump in while they play with my helicopter seeds in the wind.
I would listen to the birds chirp to one another every evening as I fall asleep and I would know exactly where they had traveled when they flew from my limbs leaving their nests in my care.
mmmm..I can feel the breeze in my leaves now..rustling through, caressing ...nice...
