Oooh I like these! Talk about the language of flowers. What a bouquet GN would make.

Bamboo. Tough to get rid of smile

Mind your own business on a bad day. But cherry blossom on a good day.

Im the elder tree, the queen of the meadow. I have lovely flowers and make good wine but if you eat my berries I am poison.

I'm like a tough old shrub in the corner, plodding on and working hard to earn my place and almost forgotten in the corner, a deutzia maybe - and then suddenly for a short while I manage to bloom magnificently and everyone looks at me in surprise and says - my, you do scrub up well!

Lully, a shiny consumer? grin

Rose of course!
Sweetly scented, lots of choice of what to wear colour-wise, blooming lovely!
On a bad day - still a rose because I have prickles.

Ha ha Galen!
You are more like an exuberant clematis smile

A horse chestnut tree.

Changing with the seasons.

Quiet in winter though full of life inside, now and over the many years.

Explosive in Spring with white candle flowers.

Busy in Summer and generous in Autumn keeping children happy and reminding adults of youth. ( still get excited if I find a shiny consumer. )

Surviving despite having sticks thrown up to my top branches. Can't beat a horse chestnut hope they don't die out any time soon.....that'll do.

A shy retiring violet of course!

If you were a flower or plant, what would you be?
When I'm in a bad mood, I'd be Eryngium giganteum - silver on top, but very prickly.
On a good day, cyclamen hederifolium - elegant, lightly scented, delicate-looking but tough as old boots
