For some reason that I have yet to uncover, every time I open my Google reader this post is there on top.
And, completely unbidden, I hear this song in my head. Totally NOT the muppets, but literally what I hear! (I think I have heard this song more often in my head, when prompted by your post, than I have in real life!!)
I think they're actually the 'real' flowers of poinsettias. The big red parts that make them so Christmassy are leaflike bracts and the actual flowers are just the little hardly noticeable ones near the centre. That's my story and I"m stucking to it. But, as for Muppet flowers, have a look: http://www.brendachance.com/muppets/muppets.htm There are lots of good possibilities and it looks like the Swedish Chef may be lurking in there too!
A Novel Woman, AKA Pamela Patchet, was unwittingly born and raised in Toronto instead of Paris. She worked her way from A&W carhop to political advisor to advertising executive where, on any given day, she was called upon to soothe disgruntled clients, cajole temperamental artists, juggle multi-million dollar budgets or locate trained penguins for television commercials. She married a handsome dentist for love and a lifetime of free dental care, raised three kids, and established a freelance writing career, not unlike her earlier jobs, minus the penguins.

ROFL! I adore the Swedish chef! He, and the two old men in the audience, are probably my favs.
And what kind of flowers are those? Because they really do look like Muppets. Maybe that's where Henson got his original idea...
And didn't they have a Muppet squirrel?
Just askin'...
Muppet squirrel?!
(fingers in ears lalalala)
I knew I'd seen them before :)

HAHAHA! Squirrel stew! Thanks for the link.
And I have no idea what kind of flowers those are. They were in the greenhouse. Brenda? Any idea?
I thought you could use the laugh :P
Good muppet spotting!
