squirting flower

Clown's lapel gag

A squirting flower is a novelty gag item—a fake flower worn on the lapel that sprays water when an unsuspecting person leans in to smell it.

The classic prop of pranksters and clowns, it works via a hidden rubber bulb: He got me with the old squirting flower trick.
