I'd rather go with

I'm a "people", and it'd confuse the blazes outta me.  ;-)

With a name like that, I would probably never find the part!  ;-)

Ditto.  ;-)

I would also be very confused by the "3x3" part.

I'm, sure the "footprint" of the part is 3x3,
but it's still basically
a round 1x1 brick with something attached, •   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so I would prefer a name which reflects this.
We have become used to this way of describing parts •   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in LDraw by now.

Sorry, Steve, but I wholeheartedly agree with Fredrik on this.

The only "compromise" I can think of is:
"Plant Brick  1 x  1 Round with Three Leaves".
This way, it gets filed into the "Plant" Category
(which is what Steve was specifically aiming for, I believe),
but Fredrik and I will still be able to find it
("Look for a plant piece that's a 1x1 round brick
with three leaves sticking out of it...").

Thanks,
Franklin
