What if Lyuda Had Been Born a Flower?

What if Lyuda had been born a flower?   She's a busy girl who probably doesn't have time to think about such questions. But fortunately I do. If she were a flower, she would be a daffodil. Her needs would be pretty basic. She'd like some water from time to time. And sunshine would be good too. She would socialize with butterflies and honey bees. What makes her unique is that she would want the gardener to talk and sing to her. I once read that Prince Charles is an avid gardener who loves singing to his plants and flowers. Some of the flowers probably think this is weird at first. But once they find out their gardener is the future King of England, they are impressed. If Lyuda were a flower in Prince Charles' garden, she would act really cool and nonchalant about it on the outside, but on the inside she would feel really excited and wonder if it would be appropriate to ask for a personalized autographed photo of his mom that read, “Best regards to Lyudochka, my son's favorite flower. Sincerely yours, Queen Elizabeth II.” And then she would be invited to be the Queen's decoration at a tea party.
