Audry Jr. was a carnivorous plant from outer space named for the girl on whom the florist’s clerk had a crush in “The Little Shop of Horrors.” The first version (movie 1960) was low production budget, mostly unknowns, but had a small, but memorable, preformance by Jack Nicholson as a masochist visiting a dentist at the start of his career. The remake (1986) had Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Jim Belushi, Bill Murray, John Candy and others. Bigger money and a musical. Check them both out.
Sometimes referred to as Audrey II, a reference I used in today’s Cornered (hadn’t been here yet, either everyone here figured that was used up or something though it was the first thing I thought of over there).
She’s wrong. A little research on the flower code from Victorian times will reveal that there *is* in fact a flower that can say that. That particular flower was mentioned in “The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets” from the ‘Enola Holmes” mystery series by Nancy Springer.

This looks like an excellent placement for Audrey Jr.; I’m sure your mother-in-law is a woman of taste.

Who is Audrey, Jr.? Little (now grown) Audrey’s son (or daughter)?

I would send flowers with a card that said “Sorrow for your loss” unsigned. Do it about once a week.

Hey, what about Mother-in-law tongue? That’s a good plant to send a certain message :)

Hemlock perhaps, or Deadly Nightshade, or even a “Corpse Flower”.
