What plant-like attributes would you most like to have? Least like to have?

If you suddenly mutated (I know this isn't have mutations work) and gained plant-like attributes, which would you like? A trunk as strong as a tree? Ability to convert sunlight into energy? Turning green?

What would you least like? Perhaps your body would grow roots if you stay seated or standing too long.

I'm looking for a few ideas for some creative writing.

LIKES:
=-=-=-=-=

-General lack of conscious concern for things like vanity or money
-The ability to be struck by lightning and survive (large trees)
-Birds and squirrels nesting in me and raising their new families in my branches (trees, shrubs)
-Living in the fresh air and the sunlight
-Blooming with flowers and making fruit
-I WOULD like growing roots and watching generations upon generations grow, live, and love in the same place (trees)
- Drinking the rain
- Tough bark as protective armor
- Long life (if I were a tree)
-Being a flower bulb that hides under the earth all year long and then POP springs out of the ground for just three weeks to put on a color show. Then back into the ground to hide some more
-The ability to twist, climb, and snake when no one's looking (vines)
-The special relationship with bees, they're always such a tease and they tickle!

DISLIKES:
=-=-=-=-=-

-Vulnerability to bugs
-Vulnerability to drought
-Deforestation / weeding / heavy pruning
-Lack of communication with other living beings
-Ice on branches (trees)
-Forest fires
-Short life (small plants, like an annuals)

By the way, if I could pick any plant, I think I might pick this tree. I hope he inspires you too!

I am suprised I am the first to say this one. I would like the ability to regrow lost limbs, the shockingly long life span would be fantastic as well.

Immobility would be the biggest disadvantage, but other downers that could happen with this type of mutation, problems with prolonged cold or darkness, stiffening of limbs, perhaps loss of vocal cords or other abilities that a tree would not need.

Plant like, eh, that would be:
"a. Any of various photosynthetic, eukaryotic, multicellular organisms of the kingdom Plantae characteristically producing embryos, containing chloroplasts, having cellulose cell walls, and lacking the power of locomotion." on line dictionary.

Well, I wouldn't mind some chloroplasts. That would let me get a bit of energy from sunlight, and even help global warming by breathing in some CO2 and exhaling O2, at least if I were sitting quietly in the sun. And, I'd be bright green! That would go great with my purple suit.

Lacking the power of locomotion, well that's the big catch. I wouldn't want to be stuck in one place. Especially considering that that one place is where you were born. Imagine spending your life planted in the new baby room of a pediatric hospital.

I would like to have some plants' attribute where I could be sweet smelling all the time. Like my favorite cherry blossoms! :)

But I wouldn't want to have roots! I don't want to stay in one place forever! I want adventures so I wouldn't definitely stay in one place. ^^

I would love to get energy just by exposing to the sun, but I would hate to be rooted to the ground to get nutrients.

I would like to have the longevity of certain types of tree, such as this Norway Spruce. Or even youngsters like some sequoias and oaks.

The quality I would like least is being rooted to the spot, especially outdoors in a cold and wet location. :)
