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

Deadly nightshade - or a sweet pea wink

Maybe unusual instead of exotic. Couldn't think of the word I wanted and posted in haste!

TwiceAsNice Thu 01-Oct-15 07:46:12

I'd be a tulip.its my favourite flower . A little bit exotic with a hidden centre which is unexpected. Just like me

I'm a forget-me-not. (I hope people don't forget me!) I'm annoying and childish at times, although I try to be sensible and responsible most of the time! But like a forget-me-not, I try to spread - in my case it's motivation and enthusiasm - to others around me.

Buttercup. Bright and cheerful and a good name for a cow !!

gilleybob Daises are lovely. Dandelions are alright apart from their roots. Daise are always cheerful. smile

gillybob Wed 30-Sept-15 13:19:40

I'll be a daisy.

Nothing special, ten a penny and always getting trodden on !

grannyweeble Wed 30-Sept-15 13:02:53

I'm a blue & white fuchsia on a good day, a black arum lily when things are rough

Hyacinth without the "bouquet" grin

Snowdrops, so happy that spring is on it's way. Cheesy I know.

Icyalittle Tue 29-Sept-15 18:26:18

No, sorry, jingle, I should read properly, mine aren't white, mine are like my photo at the top.

Icyalittle Tue 29-Sept-15 18:24:37

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 29-Sept-15 10:38:44

you can get seeds for white erygnum here Flowers the first year too.

Yes, dandelions are hard to get rid of. grin

Icyalittle Tue 29-Sept-15 10:35:12

Nettles make good soup Lona ....

Icyalittle Tue 29-Sept-15 10:34:14

Teetime your rose looks lovely! Why 'acquired taste'?

Icyalittle Tue 29-Sept-15 10:31:36

I like dandelions too, such a bright flower, but boy, can they dig their heels roots in. grin
granjura that's interesting to know, I don't think I've ever seen one. Any particular height range?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 29-Sept-15 09:28:33

That should have been like. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 29-Sept-15 09:27:43

I do actually like dandelions.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 29-Sept-15 09:26:11

Has anyone mentioned the dandelion yet? That'll do me. Pops up everywhere.

Lona Tue 29-Sept-15 09:15:13

I'm afraid I'd be a nettle!

Teetime Tue 29-Sept-15 09:03:42

A Blue Moon rose- quietly elegant, fragrant, an acquired taste. grin

granjura Tue 29-Sept-15 08:46:07

lol indeed- but elderberries are not poisonous btw.

Any wild meadow flower for me- could never choose one, or even too.

Icyalittle- eryngium grown wild in the Jura and the Alps- but never seen a white one- always the deepest of blue.
