I don’t know if he’s actually named after Marvin the Martian, but I was so inspired, I bought my own moon valley and named it Illudium Q-36! Hope it eventually looks as happy as Marvin 😍

Thanks! And yes, that looney tune was my inspiration! He was always set up on the moon aiming something at Earth, right!? Marvin was starting to bloom at Walmart when I found him! Still going strong 4 months later…

Wait, you only just bought one after seeing Marvin!? If so…we are honored!

#### SJ replied on 2026-08-02

Brand new and not flowering (firing 😂) but still seems happy
