Vine

Vitis vinifera

"Very capable people, certain of their own ability, confident of success. Being so assured, they think that it would be for the benefit of others if they could be persuaded to do things as they themselves do, or as they are certain is right. Even in illness they will direct their attendants. They may be of great value in emergency."

—Edward Bach, The Twelve Healers

They often feel that they know what’s best and that they are just doing the right thing for others. They will tend to be bossy and dominant in relationships. In extreme cases, their dominance may feel effacing or abusive to those around them.
