A [[Border in Bloom]] is a classic [[Shoujo]] manga visual trope, where a character is drawn bordered by flowers. This is most often done to indicate a romantic scene, and may be a visual version of Rose-Colored Glasses.

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' introduces all of its major characters with an ornate border with a ''spinning'' rose blossom at each of the four corners of the screen. The roses are colored the same as the character's hair color. The only characters not introduced this way are Wakaba and Chu-Chu, which is also meaningful. Wakaba eventually earns her border in ''Wakaba's Flourishing''.
* In the manga of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', this happens.{{context}}
* In ''[[UQ Holder!]]'' chapter 78, Dana is surrounded by flowers while proclaiming the virtues of love and beauty.
* In the [[EDEnding Theme]] for ''[[Minami-ke]] Tadaima'', Haruka gets a [[Cherry Blossom]] border as appropriate for a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]. Kana gets violets for her blunt honesty, and Chiaki gets orange maple leafs to suit her melancholic nature.
* In the OP for [[Super GALS!]], Ran is bordered by by pinkish-purple daisies (maybe osteospermum?). [[Played With]], as her glamour shot quickly gives way to various gag faces.
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' has roses which symbolizes the hosts, even appearing in front of a still color background along with the host in question.
* ''[[Dragon Half]]'' shows a still of a dignified, maidenly Vina among a variety of flowers when she introduces herself as a princess. The next cut subverts it immediately with a [[Super-Deformed]] angry Vina threatening Mink.

* Weddings are traditionally pretty [[Shoujo Demographic]], so it's not surprising that lots of wedding pictures are framed with white flowers.
