Gift-giving in relationships gets a little tricky sometimes — but if you need definitive proof that it’s truly the thought that counts, we’ve found it. A Texas guy gave his girlfriend lettuce because he thought it was a flower, and the story has our hearts collectively melting. Jailyn and Jamarcus have been dating for nearly a year, and he was super excited to give her flowers.

There was just one tiny hiccup — the “flower” in question was actually a vegetable.

(A closer look at the photo leads us to believe it’s purple kale, just in case you were wondering.)

Jailyn shared a photo of the gift, and it immediately went viral.

“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 said. “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.”

Awwww.

Needless to say, the Internet went wild over the adorable story.

Jailyn has definitely found herself a keeper — and we think the lettuce/kale/vegetable in question is pretty beautiful.
