Beware of the Flower
So if you want a humorous gift for someone that I guarantee will be utterly unique, check out The Flower With 'Tude Shop. The caption on the T-shirt reads, "HEY! Who d'ye think ye're calling PANSY?!!!"
Since this little guy would be pretty lonely by himself, below I've gathered a brief anthology of vegetable and floral humor from around the net.

Goofball Vegetable Humor Book
I had to get this book for her as a Christmas present, of course. It shows you how to make odd-looking faces and animals out of fruits and vegetables already around the house. (No, I'm not talking about your spouse.)

Funny Flowers and Vegetables Around the Net
I donno, but there's some pretty silly stuff out there.
- "Weird Fruit" by Renowned Fantasy Artist Ursula Vernon
- I love this web artist, UrsulaV. She can do really exquisite fantasy art. She can also do really stupid yet funny art. Here is her gallery of Weird Fruit. My favorite is "Bighorn Pears".
- Bob the Angry Flower
- Obviously I couldn't skip this guy. Famous comic strip flower tackles the burning issues of our day.
- Wearable Vegetables - Odd Gifts
- In addition to "wearable vegetables", this guy sells T-shirts with really awful vegetarian puns.
Pareidolia -- Seeing Faces in Inanimate Objects
Aha! I'm Not Alone in My Insanity!
But finally I stumbled across a blog entry explaining the phenomenon of "Pareidolia", seeing faces in inanimate objects. The article is actually pretty funny and has a cute example.
Armed with a jargon word to assist me in my search, I was finally able to find other photos proving that I'm not the only crazy person out there:
I'm A Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch
Because Petunias Need Love Too
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air's so strong it takes my breath away (Phee-ew)
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
oh won't you come and play with me!
It's actually an excerpt from a longer song written in 1946 by Maurie Hartmann, Billy Faber and Johnny Kamono.
Amazingly, I've found an obscure website with an original recording of "Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch" with all the verses and all the lyrics. Sounds of a bygone era! There, now you've found something on the net you never knew existed.
