Cat Smile has been renamed to Playful Cat Smile. Moving examples that have enough context for the new trope.


** ''VideoGame/WarioMasterOfDisguise'' has a boss called Kabloom, a giant flower that steals a piece of the DismantledMacGuffin. It starts out with an innocent face, complete with CatSmile, but when it is damaged, it gains a much scarier face.

* In ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'', Flower was a far-from-charming charming centaury flower, which resulted in her being [[spoiler:the first and last contestant eliminated]]. She has softened up as of BFB, however.

Added example(s) - grippers may not quite fit, though

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/DeltoraQuest'' has a couple of examples:
** "Grippers" are a weedy plant with small purple flowers, and carnivorous mouths which will grab and drain the blood of anyone who gets too close.
** "Blood lilies" are red flowers that form a symbiotic relationship with carnivorous insects called fleshbanes. The lilies emit a sweet scent and pollen with a numbing and soporific effect, and the fleshbanes, disguised as petals, come and eat anyone effected. The corpses then feed the lilies. Fleshbanes are shown to have teeth and jaws strong enough to even [[spoiler: eat and kill a dragon, but not its egg]].

I know a lady who got tetanus from her roses.


This negative portrayal may stem (no pun intended!) from the fact that a few flowers really do have some negative connotations. For example, ''Rafflesia arnoldii'' are known for their corpse-like smell, [[TheTragicRose roses]] (quite possibly the most famous flower) are covered in sharp thorns that make them unpleasant to handle, and CherryBlossoms are used for connotations of death, due to not lasting very long, which reminds people of their own mortality. Additionally other species of flowers contain [[PoisonIsEvil poison]] which can permanently put an end to a hiking trip, especially if they were [[KnowYourVines mistaken for similar looking but harmless variants.]] To an individual suffering from medical conditions such as allergies or asthma, even the otherwise harmless spores emitted en-masse are the cause of much suffering;

Added DiffLines:

* The sole monster of ''VideoGame/SilentHillTheShortMessage'' is a HumanoidAbomination officially dubbed "Sakura Head": ostensibly resembling a young woman (and appears to have human legs), its entire top half is completely engulfed with CherryBlossoms and barbed wire, practically exploding out of its jacket as it moves, [[ImplacableMan and it's completely unstoppable]], only providing RunOrDie as viable options. Its evocation of cherry blossoms is itself tied to game's themes of suicide and death, [[spoiler:representing the torment the protagonist has endured herself and inflicted on others, [[AndIMustScream of which it constantly appears there is no escape]].]]
