    I've always said that when reincarnated I would like to come back as a tree.  I'm not too fussy about the species.  Something native and deciduous placed in the open so that I could grow and spread my branches.  

    What about you Bushman2?

  • A rose.   Beautiful to look at.   Smells gorgeous but watch it.... can be spikey and will get you   image

    Definitely a perennial of some description. I want to be everlasting. Possibly a bit of geranium maccrorhizum - happy in most places and spreads freely. A contented plant!

    Something that prefers a cool shady place, but is pretty too and doesn't get eaten by slugs or deer ? Pulmonaria.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Hops. Rough on the surface, but a good soul at heart. A bit grabby if left unchecked. The kind that will hog the whole bed at night and leave hubby sleeping in a tiny strip of mattress. But really a good soul, mind, deep down. Makes beer good and sweet-sleepy pillows.

    Well some great stuff. Katherine yours appeals to me never thought of hops.Would it be fuggles perhaps?

    Me i would be a Scots Pine. Tall,sturdy able to withstand all thrown at it.

    Oak tree.

    Enormous, long-lived and supports a greater variety of other species than any other.  I want one planted on top of me.  Eventually.

    I like Pansy's suggestion though!
