Mine would be a trachelospermum jasminoide firstly because the scent makes me feel so happy inside and secondly because it was my first plant I bought and nurtured and it taught me a lot and never failed to let me down and cheer me up when other things weren't going so well.
I enjoyed the mental exercise of having to choose only one type of plant. My decision surprised me. I'd get bored with only one type of flower, however much I liked it to start off with. Too much of a good thing, maybe.
Lots of different flower colours and forms too Yvie and some are even scented. You could have them in flower every month of the year. Quite a wide range of foliage colour and form too and some are evergreen.

I'm in the clematis camp...I think...but then there's the foxgloves...and the echinacea...and the allium. This is too hard. Hmmm I think it's going to have to be clematis.
One type of plant ... 🤔 squashes .... they can climb over my pergolas to give me shade with their amazing leaves ... I can eat the beautiful flowers and fruit and dry the seeds to add to my muesli and bread ... and they’ll provide loofahs for my shower ... and in the winter I can stay indoors on the warm and not have to do stuff out there in the cold which gives me neuralgia. 😊
