Upsidedown Flower Doll
upsidedown, anthropomorphic plant doll (roots are mouth, nose, eyes and ears/ leaves are arms and legs/ flower is genetalia) | |
Kids go crazy over stuffed animals -- because they can
anthropomorphize them. But with flowers, it doesn't seem
to
make any sense to put the eyes on the flower, it just looks
wrong. This is because a flower's eqivalent of eyes isn't in
the
flower, it's in the roots. The flower part of
the plant are
genitalia. The eyes, ears, noses and mouths of plants are in
the roots (their location determiners). Traditional
anthropomorphic flowers are upsidedown. So a flower doll
with
all the senses cartoonized and put in the roots would drive
kids crazy.

This would make a good tv show. Plus, if Enid Blyghton was still alive, she might've pinched this idea for her Folk Of the Faraway Tree books. |

I was figuring the arms and feet would be leaves, and all the sensory organs would be roots |

If folks would just grow their flowers right side up, this wouldn’t be a problem. <link> |
