I WOULD LIKE TO BE A ROSE ...

If I were a plant, I would like to be a rose, because it looks a little like me… tall, beautiful and spiky.

I like this plant because it is very well known, spectacular and has a pleasant smell.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE A PANSY…

If I were a plant, I would love to be a pansy, because it has many spectacular colours, which I really like.

It brings love and beauty. It's like a butterfly that delights the eye. The pansy can be used to decorate the entrance to the house, the terrace or the balcony.

The pansies are neat, so am I. Just as pansies bring joy, so I would like to bring joy to those close to me.

  Pansy is a medicinal plant with healing properties, and I would like to be a doctor, to heal children.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE A SNOWDROP...

If I were a plant, I would like to be a snowdrop, because it is fragile and brave, because it endures the cold of spring and does not freeze. He does not let himself be beaten until he announces spring. So am I: I don't give up until I solve what I set out to do.

Snowdrop is a flower that everyone likes.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE A SUNFLOWER ...

If I were a plant, I would like to be a sunflower, because when it's sunny and beautiful, it's facing the sun, meaning it's happy and so am I when it's warm outside, I'm happy, because I can play with my friends and colleagues.

At night, the sunflower turns to the ground and it is sad, while I have nothing to do but sleep.

Sunflower has many friends all over Romania. So am I: I have a lot of friends in many parts of the country.

I WANT TO BE A  NETTLE ...  

If I were a plant, I would love to be a nettle, because it represents me. She lives in uncultivated places, in the plains, hills or mountains, just as I am… I make friends everywhere.

The opposite stem and leaves, oval and serrated on the edges are covered with stinging hairs that cause irritation to the touch, and I am stubborn and I have communication problems, that is I fight for my opinion, like any child today, in fact.

Nettles also have beneficial effects on the body, being medicinal plants, just like my personality – with good and bad parts. 

In conclusion, this plant represents me!

I WOULD LIKE TO BE A SNOWDROP

Because I am the first of all around the house.

Beyond the fragile and delicate appearance, the snowdrops hide a story sprinkled with interesting details.

Do you think you know everything about snowdrops? Check this! Every spring, my grandmother would bring home a large bouquet of snowdrops picked from the yard, telling us that this would bring out the brood of many chicks. In other words, it is not good to have a single snowdrop in the house.

Snowdrops are bulbous plants that come from Europe and Asia.

They have 2-3 long, thin, dark green leaves.

The flowers are white, appearing on each bulb, especially in early spring, but sometimes in the middle or at the end of winter, therefore snowdrops are the first bulbous plants to bloom.

There are varieties of snowdrops that bloom from January to February, usually on warmer days after frosty periods. Galanthus nivalis blooms from January to March.

At first glance, all snowdrops look the same, but they are not. There are over 100 varieties of snowdrops in the world.

THE CLOTHING OF SPRING

If I were a plant, I would like to be a snowdrop, because it symbolizes purity, innocence and peace.

The snowdrop is also called the harbinger of spring and I would like to announce to the world the change of the season, nature’s return to life, the leafing of trees, the emergence of animals from holes and dens, and the arrival of birds from warm countries.

Fragile yet strong, snowdrops appear from the cold blanket of snow. They are the first plants to get their head out of the cold snow, without fear and hesitation.

Snowdrops convey joy and well-being, so they are given to the loved ones.

At the first smile of the sun, the snowdrop opens its petals and reveals a snow-white flower.

The snowdrop opens the door to spring, which is considered the season of flowers and green trees.

All these features of the snowdrop make me want to be this plant.

I would like to be a sunflower ...

I would like to be a rose ...

If I were a plant I would want to be a rose because it's my mother's favorite flower and my mother's for me  she is holy.

I really like this plant because it smells beautiful and I would delight everyone around me with this perfume.

More than its fragrance is the diversity of colors on which can have it. All these shades form a whole color palette namely: red, pink, yellow, white, orange and purple.

I would like to wear one dress at a time color in part to see the reactions of those around me.

For example, when you give a red rose, it means love and affection for that person, the white one means purity, the pink rose means happiness, grace and sweet joy, the orange is a manifestation of admiration, fascination, a gift of the fire of the heart, the purple one conveys a state of delight and well-being.

In conclusion, this plant is charming and attractive many looks.

If I were a plant, I would be…

If I were a plant, I would like to be a Japanese Cherry because  it has a pink color, slightly pale, is fragrant and very beautiful. Its leaves are green and the flowers are small, many and have all shades from white to dark pink. Japanese cherry grows 2 meters tall, and if the tree stands in favorable conditions can grow up to 3 meters.

Its fruits are different from the normal ones because they have a lot of juice and the acid is felt because they have a lot of vitamin C. The cherry blossoms in April-May and the flowers last 10-15 days.

I would love to be a Japanese Cherry because I would see how people look at my beauty and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I also like the fact that if I were a tree, I would withstand the cold in the winter and come back to life in the spring.

I would like to be a Sunflower...

If I were a plant, I would love to be ... Sunflower, because I would see a lot of the beautiful and warm sun that I like. I could grow the biggest plant and see all the flowers next to me.

I would like to be a white rose ...

Roses are beautiful regardless of color.

I would prefer to be a white rose, white representing cleanliness, optimism, sincerity. I would like to be such a person.

Roses bloom annually and delight in their color and scent. Most are red and fewer are white. I would rather stand out, be as special as a white rose.

Roses are loved by people.

If I WERE LEAVES, I WOULD ALWAYS BE RED,ORANGE, GREEN AND YELLOW. 

I LIKE LEAVES, BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVES, AND WE MAKE DIFFERENT PICTURES WITH THEM.

If I were a pink-lily, I would like to stay always in the classroom, for children admire  and follow me.

I like these flowers, because  they are smelling good, and are royal-flowers.

If I become a White Orchid; If we have innocent feelings for someone, we can gift them a white orchid. As I symbolize innocence and purity, I am usually preferred on teacher's day or when gifts are to be given among relatives. If I become a pink orchid; I add cuteness to any environment I'm in. I can be a great idea to be gifted to friends. If I become a purple orchid; I represent power, nobility and elegance, I can be the perfect gift idea for our loved ones.

If I were a tree, I would like to be a fir for many reasons. I would be evergreen, as I wouldn't lose my beautiful needle leaves in the winter. I would be very tall and majestic. And around me in spring I would have the company of many nice mushrooms that adore my shadow. But the most beautiful moment for me would be Christmas when all the children happily walk around me putting the wonderful Christmas decorations with the sparkling colored lights. I would be the keeper of a thousand secrets because I would meet the mythical Santa Claus who, placing the gifts around me, would stop and chat with me, eating the snack left by the children. I would bring so much joy to every home and every familyand there is nothing more beautiful than giving joy to others!

I wish to be Forget-me-not! 

I was inspired by the story of this 

flower when God was walking in 

the garden of Eden. He saw a blue

 flower and asked it its name. The 

flower was so shy that it only 

whispered: "I forgot my name." 

Since then God renamed the flower

as Forget-me-not saying that he would not forget the flower.

This lovely blue flower shaped like a star with delicately curved edges is a symbol of true love. It is my favourite!

Hello, friends! I would like to be a bamboo tree and I live in Asia. I love warmth. Let me tell you more about me.  I grow rapidly, I am strong and flexible, I produce more oxygen than other trees and I need no irrigation. I am home of sweet pandas and they need me to feed. If I disappear, pandas will be next to fade away. Up to half of the world's bamboo species are in danger of extinction. This makes me sad. People should realize this and stop torturing us!

Mimosa

If i were a plant i would be a mimosa (sensitive

plant). It has a fame about closing its leafs when

someone touch it. And this feature makes us

resemble to each other. Mimosa lives in the

tropical climate and I borned in summer month so

i really like hot weathers too. When you touch it,

it starts to give off a chemical called turgorin. And

when people hug me i start to feel better and it

makes me happy. It lives seven years at most. And

i plan my life as 7 years is going to be my best and

the most effective years.
