Here's a joke I just thought of- What did the Maple and the Pine Dryads say to the Human they wanted to have sexy times with? "Would you be interested in a treesome?" - Oak the Dryad- So there is this etsy shop...
It’s called ‘Plant Puns’.
It sells plant pots with plant-based play on words
and it honestly gives me life.
I mean…
For the Harry Potter Herbology nut like me self
That is all, as yew were
When I found the botanist slicing open my favourite bra to pour in soil and seeds, I knew we were probably going to end the relationship.
To be fair, I did agree with him when he explained his reasoning: he had always found full and fertile abundance within their fabric walls and wanted to test his hypothesis.
I mean, not to stroke my own stem here, but these bulbs ain’t half bad.
- so I'm going to plant the new flowers in the garden tomorrow morning while my dad is at work...
- Dad: (giving me instructions)...and when you're pulling out weeds, make sure you don't take out the fern in the flowerbed by the side of the house. there's just one fern, it's got really funky-shaped leaves, don't touch it.
- Me: Why, because ferns are our fronds?
- Dad: Yeah, it's my frond...best frond...my best frond forever...my BFF.
- Me: Wait are you being serious or was that just for the pun?
- Dad: Yeah I'm serious, I collected him a few years ago from the woods, put him in my backpack and planted him in the flowerbed when I got home and he lived.
- Me: ....
- Me: okay I won't hurt your fern. Any frond of yours is a frond of mine!
- Me and my Girlfriend are so punny xD
- Me: I'm about to leaf, gots to apply to make some montree :3
- Me: Shit, I forgot my sungrasses >.<
- GF: Oh you could dirtaintly borrow mine
- Me: It's ok, I'll be vine :)
- GF: Btw, you look very root today <3
- 20 minutes later
- Me: Fuck I need reffremces.
- GF: Uh I'll be one lol
- Me: I don't think I can use you as a ref-fern-ce :P
- GF: Cmon, Pat, you need to ficus xD
- Me: I seed what you did there :3
- GF: I do good things... OAKationaly.
- Me: xD This, this is why I lichen you so much xD
- GF: Daw, well I woodn't have it any other way xD

i have a headcanon kelp likes to make puns just to slightly annoy the mayor
Oh my god anon I love you that is absolutely something she does, haha! Mostly plant/nature puns since that’s what she knows best. Don’t let me forget to draw this when my new pen arrives! MUST DRAW THIS.
As an extra tidbit, Kelp is also still learning about how non-plant lifeforms work. She tends to misinterpret what they do. For instance, if someone’s lying out in the sun she assumes they’re absorbing light energy with their chlorophyll. Likewise, if a villager is dipping their feet in the river they must be gathering water for photosynthesis via their roots, right? Right.

Hello! I saw a post of yours in the plant pun tag and i wondered if I could ask for your pun expertise on something- I have to guess a predetermined name for an Oddish that doubles as a literary pun. It's not the name Radish or anything that's clearly related to Homer's Oddysey and I'm running out of good guesses. Any ideas? If not that's cool and thank you, good luck on your way to grass type gym leader status!I was wondering when someone would turnip to Ask me something!
This is by far the most interesting Ask I’ve ever had - especially since people tend to avoid my pungent habit of cramming word-jokes in conversation.
Uhm, let me see…literary pun. It actually took some thyme to think of both puns as well as literature. If it’s not the Oddishey, then perhaps:
Growmeo, or Montegrew?(and you’re dang right I’m on my way to be a Grass Gym Leader. I’ll never understand how Erika got hers.)
Thank you for the Ask! Hope I helped - please let me know if/when you’ve figured out the pun!

- Me: Maybe an worthy foe will turnip eventually... I think I need to kale a doctor this is getting out of hand
- Charlie: I'm not sure if we can trust such basil accusations...
- Me: This is all a bit corny.
- Charlie: My spinachs (spine-aches)
- Me: Weed ought to stop this tomfoolery.
- Charlie: Oh-no! CARROTCARROTCARROTCARROT! I've been shot! TOMATO JUICE IS LEEKING EVERYWHERE! HOW COULD THEY UPROOT MY FAMILY LIKE THIS!

Hey, remember me? Thanks so much for the help with the guesses a few days ago! Growmeo and Montegrew won honorable mentions for their cleverness, but the answer ended up being Oddipus Rex, like Oedipus Rex. On the plus side Growmeo and Montegrew are my two favorite oddishes! Never give up on your gym leading dreams and may your talent for wordplay forever be amazing.Sure thing I remember you!
Oddipus Rex, huh? Clever! I had a sneaky feeling I was perhaps over-thinking it - thank you for getting back to me on the actual answer.Glad to know you’re so fond of Growmeo and Montegrew. :)
Thank you for the kind words and again for telling me the actual answer.
I wish you the best!
