    Difficult one this.
    I think I would be Galanthus nivalis.
    Shy and retiring, but given the opportunity to shine I will glow, even from my hiding place.

    Hot lips of course!

    This is my favourite plant in my garden at the moment, it is doing suprisingly well to say it is next to the privet, in shade most of the day, I hope it comes back next year!

    scarlet pimpernel - saw one the other day for the first time in ages and loved it all over again I loved it as a child - so wild -tenacious, a survivor and surprising.

    I love Carnations but that's probably not my personality. Brugmansia perhaps ... Gone with the Wind era ... mmmmm, that would suit me! [​IMG]

    Love Scarlet Pimpernel, lapod ... grows wild here on the coastline, both the blue and orange, so delicate and lovely.

    Hello Juicer (great name!)

    If I was a plant I would be this..........

    [​IMG]

    Pops up all the time - usually when you don't want me to [​IMG]

    Holds on firmly to my roots - despite how many times I'm chopped to bits [​IMG]

    Clings to those closest to me but reaches out to others [​IMG]

    Puts on a whiter than white show when necessary just to make you think I'm completely innocent
    [​IMG]

    Never gives up trying to grow and be strong :D

    Hi all

    I am still pondering!

    I am thinking paeony, early to emerge in the spring, fresh and succulent with a happy flower in the summer and feeling burned out and crisp by the autumn:)

    There again, if plants were emotions I could split it down to days of the week and hours of the day and a plant for each.
