Romantic Houston man mistakes kale bundle for flower

May 26 (UPI) -- A Houston man seeking to give his girlfriend a romantic "flower" is drawing attention on Twitter after accidentally giving her a bundle of kale instead.

Houston woman Jailyn, @JayJailyn on Twitter, tweeted a photo of the "flower" she was given by her boyfriend, Jamarcus.

"My boyfriend brought me this thinking it was a flower but it's lettuce," Jailyn wrote.

Twitter users were quick to point out the plant wasn't actually lettuce, but purple kale.

"I was sleeping and he woke me up by knocking on my window. I went to go open the door and he had the lettuce in his hand with a big smile," Jailyn told Mashable. "I just started laughing so much. After, I hugged and kissed him. He didn't [know] what it was until I told him it was lettuce. My mom was right by the door and she was laughing, too, but she also thought it was cute."

Jailyn said Jamarcus "was lost and he was laughing so much because he really thought it was a flower from a fruit."

"He got it from his job at a warehouse," she said. "He didn't know any better but to think it was a flower, but that's what made it really funny."
