Madonna "absolutely loathes hydrangeas," a type of flower, and was none-too-happy when a well-wisher presented her with one during the Venice Film Festival -- all caught by her microphone. Ouch.

Nevertheless, she manages to keep it together and thanks the fan, even as she removes the offending flower from her sight. Watch Madonna bravely overcome a floral tragedy below.
