Looks like you could not only grow flowers but, within limits, deliver them.

Addendum:  We already have FTD that allows you to order flowers delivered to other cities with a phone call or on-line order.  With this you have FFD, Flower Flying Delivery that brings them directly from the greenhouse.

an Airfix Dinah, old kit but nice, with a skull from Revell

I hesitated about keeping the nose or not : both versions here,

making it a Pinocchio

Horrible... but nice!
(my "favorite" is the nose-less one, because this is the most frightening or something)

Noseless one looks like it belongs to a criminal gang or other evil organization.  Perhaps something that the villain would fly in an old serial.  *chuckle* If it had been red instead of blue, I would imagine it being flown by the Red Skull from the Captain America comic.

brain & Sea Venom, red Re: hybrid aircraft/animals and others

 ;) here comes some red :

it was a kit with a skull and its accompanying brain :

the latter fitted nicely with the wings and booms of a Sea Venom from my stash :

Would that be described as the ultimate UAV?  It certainly would have a functional brain on board for control purposes.

I had this tentacle in my stash for some time ... it required a special peak in inspiration, which fell upon this PZL39

elephants come to mind indeed, as well as "droop snoot" (like the name of the P38)

please note that I had to put weight in the tail, in order to avoir nose-sitting :

that's what happens when you do whiff : you try out imaginary solutions, you get imaginary problems  ;D

another potential nose-sitter, which I had to add weight in the tail :

the other part of the Sea Venom, with the legs of a mygale spider :

Can't help but be a Venom-ous spider, now can it?  Beautiful job of blending, there.
