Bloomin’ Funny: Exploring the Humorous Side of Flowers

May 1, 2023 by Moni 39 Comments

Flowers are pretty, sure. But have you ever stopped to appreciate just how hilarious they can be? From their silly names to their outrageous shapes, flowers are basically the comedians of the plant world. So let’s take a moment to appreciate these floral funny guys and gals.

First off, let’s talk about their names. Whoever came up with the names for these things must have had a pretty great sense of humor. You’ve got the “naked lady” lily, the “bird of paradise” flower, and the “corpse flower” (which, let’s be real, is just begging for a horror movie cameo). And let’s not forget the “bleeding heart” flower, which is basically the emo kid of the plant world.

But it’s not just their names that are hilarious. Flowers come in all sorts of ridiculous shapes and sizes. There’s the “monkey face” orchid, which looks like a little primate staring back at you. And have you seen the “snapdragon” flower? It literally looks like a dragon opening its mouth to breathe fire (or maybe just spit out some pollen).

And don’t even get me started on the “trombone” flower (yes, that’s a real thing). It looks like something you’d find in a Dr. Seuss book, with its long, curly stem and bell-shaped flowers. I mean, who needs a musical instrument when you’ve got a flower that looks like one?

But perhaps the funniest thing about flowers is the lengths we humans will go to in order to impress each other with them. We give them as gifts, plant them in our gardens, and even use them to decorate our homes and offices. We’ve even created entire industries around them, from florists to flower delivery services.

So the next time you see a flower, take a moment to appreciate the hilarity of it all. Whether it’s a ridiculous name or an outrageous shape, there’s no denying that flowers are bloomin’ funny.

    I’ve never really thought about the humor of flowers, but you’re so right. We go out and rip the colorful heads off of plants to be like, “Look! Here’s a plant corpse. I love you.”

    The naming of flowers definitely is weird at times. I had lots of laughs when I tried to find a bouquet for my wedding, most of the flowers featured had bizarre names

    I never really thought of the humorous side of it. I would assume that the names, in many cases, have a story behind them.

    I always thought the names of flowers were really funny and strange too! It’s so interesting, learning about flowers, and it’s the perfect time of year to go searching for them in real life too.

    This post really made me think and smile! I’ve never really paid attention to flowers having funny names and are like comedians of the plant world! But, now that you brought it up – they really have silly names – especially the “monkey face” orchid! Haha! Fun post!

    I totally agree with you! Flowers are not only beautiful but also have a great sense of humour. I mean, have you ever heard of a “stinking corpse lily” or a “monkey face orchid”? It’s like they were created just to make us laugh. And don’t even get me started on the shapes and sizes of some flowers – they can be downright silly. So let’s not take these floral comedians for granted and appreciate their funny side.

    I do agree that flower names are quite funny, they always seem so random. We do go to a lot of lengths to give them but I like that because you’re passing on beauty x

    At that angle, the monkey face is all teeth. A beautiful flower, but intimidating up close! Nature is so interesting.

    You have changed how i would look at flowers the next time. I recall, at my grandma’s place, there used to be a flower “Hansalata” that looked like swans.

    Have you seen a pansy? They are definitely a funny little flower, that looks like they have faces, and personalities. I don’t know if they exist out of the U.K. though.

    I enjoyed hearing your blog, something that I use to do with my blogs when I initially started it.

    Never thot about the depth of these flowers especially thinking about their name offcourse their name comes from their relevance, but the laugh behind these names are something which u actually noticed and I didn’t. Good 1.

    That’s a unique thought on flowers. They do bring a smiile on our face and they do make us happy,I guess in that sense they are comedians of the natural world. Anyhow, we love them with their shapes, sizes and colours.

    Bleeding flower you mentioned here just made me remind of an incident. A very close friend of mine once spoke very rudely with me and that too knowingly and it hurt me so badly that I started looking for a flower which can best reflect the condition of my heart and I found the bleeding flower matching my condition the most… and literally I ended up writing a poem and shared on my insta page…. and the hilarious part is that that friend identified that the poem was on her

    I know what you mean. I have seen photos of flowers that look very different and sometimes funny too. Some even look like bird about to fly off. Enjoyed reading a unique take on flowers.
