That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 23, 2022

Hey, you grow your weed, and I’ll grow mine

Gerald never went anywhere without the plant that he found in the meteorite. Because it had grown into his brain.

Hey, you perv! get you fingers out of her pot!

Dustin Hoffman decides to raise tomatoes as a side line

Robert took his therapists advice, and never again went anywhere without his emotional support Geranium and spare set of rose colored glasses.

Rubens, the botanist, tried to make up to his art loving father by modeling for his brother, Rembrandt.

After a hard court fight, Phil was finally allowed to marry his plant.

/// Rubens Peale poses with a Geranium,

in a pot made of pitchblende (uranium).

The plant, radioactive,

must find Rubens attractive,

for its tendrils are piercing his cranium.

The ad said, Giant Blossoms, Lush Foliage, Intoxicating aroma. What The Hell Man! You can’t even smoke the rotten thing!

Geri needs pruning or she’ll lose her bloom.

His experiments were frighteningly successful, given that this had started as a lichen, and there was no soil in the pot.

“Ha ha bitches, Rembrandt painted my portrait.”

Plant Man, staring Paul Rudd

Feed me, Seymour!

Quite popular amongst all local lasses / Is this young botanist (in spite of his glasses). / You see, they all knew / That in his greenhouse he grew / Not just flowers, but a variety of premium “grasses.”

The plant was a lifesaver. He had just cut his throat to end it all – when she smiled at him ! Thinking quickly, he wrapped a bedsheet around his profusely bleeding neck, and got on with the business of living. Nuthin breaks the monotony like a suicide with botany in the mor-ornin’.

Daryl had to admit disappointment with his purchase of magic beans

A morose and myopic young man / Keeps a plant firmly fixed with his hand / For fear it be looted / His fingers are well rooted / In the pot with the vine wedding band.

According to the museum where this resides, the depicted “exotic” plant was the first of its kind in the US.

um, Geri?

He looks like a young Rob Morrow, Dr. Joel Fleischman from Northern Exposure.

Young Ryan Reynolds being the victim of his friends first cruel joke. Bring your plant to class day…..

Never date a Rose. They’re just a summertime thing.

What about the rash, poisonous affair with Ivy?

“Well, this isn’t working” thought Ruben.

I must do something to be as famous as my brother.

I know! I will make a sandwich and name it after myself!

He looks kind of like Joseph Dalton Hooker.

young Steven Spielberg

Took a throwback day off?

I bring you this flower Agnes to help me plant our relationship to the next level!
