Daffodil
I did something daring this morning. While eating a bowl of Panda Puffs I stumbled upon a link to a quiz “what kind of flower are you?” My immediate reaction was apprehension. What if I am a flower I hate? I had a lot to do today; did I really want to start my day off on a low note? It’s hard enough to get motivated these days; did I really need the adversity?
I decided that I really should give it a try and if I ended up a snapdragon, carnation, or gerbera daisy I would dismiss the quiz with a laugh. Some of the questions posed were when you retire, what kind of house do you want to live in? How many late bill payments you had in the past 30 days is? What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Yep, all these answers formulate a flower designation.
I took the test and to my pleasure I was labeled a daffodil which instantly boosted my spirits and made me momentarily believe in this hogwash. The moment quickly went by and I started to think, what are the parameters for ascribing personalities to flowers? I engage in such activities when meeting with a bride. First asking her what feelings she wants to convey and then selecting the appropriate stems for the job; so I get that part. However, I am sure that every garden and flower enthusiast’s designation of personality, taste and feeling differs widely.
I had a few close loved ones take the test and I am not quite convinced with the results. Both my dad and my husband were labeled Canna which is a little too large, showy, sunny and boisterous for their personalities. The words I would label my wonderful husband Ken are; dependable, gentle, hard working, and easy on the eyes. He comes across to me as a crocus, a hellebore or lupine not really a canna.
What puzzled me was there were no questions that offered a glimpse into light preferences, affinity to water, smell and temperature. One could ask a question about the beach, holiday vacation spot, showering habits and thoughts on clothing to get such a sense.
Visit this garden is illegal’s website and give the quiz a try. Looking back at the experience I am sure we have all been called worse things than a carnation…then maybe not????
