Dangerous plants

One of the many toys we have laying around the house had an accident recently. This little rubber ball got sat in the sunlight with another heavy pointed toy sat on top of it and the rubber plastic ally deformed.
The moment I picked it up it struck me as a mouth of some evil plant. Such mind seeds soon bloom into terrain inspiration.  So I snagged the ball for myself and into the garage it went.
I gave it a quick base of poly filler and sprayed red primer and then a top coat of green. It then got a quick dash of bright green paint to bring out the thorns. The other plant bits are from a pound land fake plant ball. I hope to add in my little jungle plants I've been making to give it a bit more variety.
 I was also thinking of adding some tendrils but not sure how to do it without ruining the "mouth" with obvious add-ons.
 Game wise this obviously would have been dangerous terrain to any models that try to move through it in a previous edition but I can't find rules for it in 9th. Weirdly it can't be classed as "dense" because its not 3" high. Which seems silly to me. I may have to add a taller tropical plant at the back to bring that in. 
 All it can be at the moment is difficult ground (-2" movement) and Unstable position (can't finish a move on top of it... Cos it'll eat you). Other than that it does nothing. A bit pants really. House rules needed.
