Had a lot of fun with this one... I had several ideas that fell through, namely because as an avatar pic I thought the subject should be prominent enough to see in a 90x120 version.
Shot my face, the pot, a separate plant with the vines coming down, and a single vine cut away in studio. Looked for several ideas for where to place the pot that didn't pan out so I settled on using my balcony table. Went outside and got a shallow DOF shot of that. Good timing too, because the sun was coming at the same angle as I shot the rest of the stuff. Made about 15 copies or so of the single vine and used puppet warp to wrap them around my head. The puppet warp was nice because it changed the leaf shapes each time enough so it didn't look like the same vine each time.
Just saw a comment about it being a "pot head"... That made me laugh, but I'm NOT a pothead! lol

Oh wow!! I think the lighting needs a tiny bit more tweaking (esp. on the camera left side), to make it look like you're in the scene better, but this is oh so very splendid
I thought this was super creative. Just for personal taste I would have maybe matched a bit more of your skin tone with the green and brown earth colors (If that makes sense). 8 from me!
