Can plants be cute?
I was at the plant nursery a few weeks ago, and my Mom and my best friend and I kept pointing out certain plants that we thought were cute.
I never really thought about it until today, when I saw some cute oxalis flowers that were closed up tight in my front yard. The blooms normally open up when the sun comes out, and close when it gets dark. I saw them first thing in the morning, and I don’t recall ever seeing them like that before. Oxalis often gets mistaken for clover. They have lovely flowers with cute Leaves. The flowers also look cute rather than pretty, when they’re Closed
I was thinking that people often refer to flowers or leaves or trees as being beautiful or pretty, but I don’t recall anybody else, except the three of us, saying that any plants were cute.
These are some examples of the plants that I thought were cute: Some Kind of Succulent and this Ruby Ball Cactus (the cactus on the left) and these Brass Buttons Flowers and these Mushrooms (technically a fungus rather than a plant) and this Pony Tail Palm
Do any of you think that certain plants are cute? If so, which ones (with pictures please) and why do you think humans would classify certain plants as cute. They don’t look like babies, or puppies or kittens, or do they? Maybe on some subliminal level?
