Reminds me of...  "Bonus Bucks" I Love Lucy Episode
Lucy, finds a bonus buck and through a string of misfortunate events, she ends up chasing the 'bonus buck' to a laundry mat where she goes through the starcher.  When she comes out of the starcher, she is stiff as a board and her collar is frilled.  When I saw this plant last night at the garden center it's frilled petals reminded me of Lucy's collar.
