Flowers for Madame

Flowers for Madame is a 1935 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.
==Summary==
A tour of the garden, where every flower dances or plays a tune, especially today, since it's the flower pageant. A series of flower chorus lines dance to "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" as played by a dandelion Harpo Marx. Various flower parades ensue. A magnifying glass starts a fire, which jumps over the sprinkler. A cactus that looks like a pickle saves everybody and becomes a hero when the fire breaks out. A grasshopper spits tobacco juice as the final blow.
==Plot==
A tour of the garden, where every flower dances or plays a tune, especially today, since it's the flower pageant (which looks a lot like the Rose Parade). A series of floats, including the Scottish Heather in kilts and two firefly brake lights. Fire strikes as a badly placed magnifying glass ignites a match. The flowers do what they can to fight it, but the fire manages to get through the sprinkler. Finally, some watermelons put out most of the fire, with a grasshopper spitting tobacco juice at the last bit.
==Trivia==
