Week 3 Clues: Some say she blossoms in every field she plants herself in, being a flower was a “natural arrangement,” she cooks, she crafts, has a clothing line.

Ready to have fun and be free after sowing the seeds of this empire with her bare hands. “This legend is here to be a vision of love on this stage.” 

Song: “9 to 5”

Guesses: Patti LaBelle was trending on Twitter after viewers heard the Flower’s voice
