Just spent ages trying to remember the name of a kid's game show I used to watch: The Adventure Game.
In it, there was a talking plant that used to get really angry, and it used to freak me out!
And no, I've not lost it, it's mentioned on Wikipedia:
The Rangdo, who was the ruler of planet Arg and referred to as 'grandfather' by the other Argonds. In the first series, his human form was played by Ian Messiter, who appeared as an old professor in a velvet jacket, but in later series he became the only one of the Argonds not to appear as a dragon. In series 2 and 3, he became an aspidistra atop an elegant plant stand; he could move around the room and roared and shook when he was angry (the Rangdo was controlled by Kenny Baker, who was also responsible for R2-D2). Any human meeting the Rangdo had immediately to placate him with a bow or curtsey while uttering the phrase "Gronda!, Gronda!". In the last series, the Rangdo changed into a teapot instead, spouting steam when displeased.
Here he is in all his terrifying glory:
