We love castor trees for their beautiful blooms and stately stalks, but universally hated for their innocuous castor oil. The real threat is their sinister nerve weapon of mass destruction called ricin. It’s surprising how many people complement us on them.
I dunno. I’ve always had a bit of a problem with the symbolism involved with the presentation to a loved one of the deracinated sex organs of some plant that will soon wither and die, their purpose unfulfilled.

That’s my brother! Any wonder he’s single? And as for a box of half-eaten chocolates, that’d be no, but a half-eaten box of chocolates, sure!

Don’t want her to get the wrong idea that she doesn’t still have cooties. Yuuch! That might lead to smoochies!

I think this is quite rare – one of the few times Watterson showed anyone outside of the regular cast of characters. Cool.

Perhaps a Rafflesia. They are the biggest flower in the world, but also very stinky. I think that would work.
