Disney's Hercules?

I don't get what the reference is or why this line is funny:

Hermes (after giving a flower bouquet to Hera): Yeah, you know, I had Orpheus do the arrangement. Isn't that too nutty?

Disney's Hercules?
Hermes the god is the symbol for the FTD florist, hence the bouquet. Orpheus was a musician, hence arrangement. Bad puns.
Reply:You know, I've always been puzzled about that line, too. If I had to hazard a guess, though, I'd have to say that having Orpheus doing the flower arranging is "nutty" because Orpheus was a musician, not a florist.
