|'''Loki''', ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''}}
A subset of [[Hair Decorations]]. Flowers have long been a symbol of femininity, and therefore young women (and those who are young at heart) sometimes wear them in their hair.
These can take the form of a daisy chain headband or a single flower (or bunch) placed in the hair. The flowers can be real or artificial.

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''
** Hungary and Taiwan. Hungary's is a geranium and represents Lake Balaton, and Taiwan actually wears the plum flower, the national flower of her country.
** Vietnam is sometimes drawn with lotuses in her ponytail, which also happen to be the country's national flower. Let's not forget the [[Gender Flip|Nyotalia]] versions of Japan (who wears a chrysanthemum), China (who wears peonies on her hat), Spain, Sweden, and Hong Kong. [[Fan Nickname|Mangary]] also wears one in his ponytail.
** Fem!Japan is an especially notable example as the sketches for her have depicted her with no less than ''three'' different flowers in her hair: a yellow chrysanthemum in the earliest colored sketch of her, a pink sakura in a more recent colored sketch of her (complete with [[Cherry Blossoms]] cascading down on her), and a red spider lily in a colored sketch of her "dark" self. And ''all'' of these flowers [[Flower Motifs|have a]] [[

* Cordelia Glauca from ''[[Tantei Opera Milky Holmes]]''. It's not exactly symbol of femininity, though; if anything, it's probably part of her insanity projected into the real world. The other characters [[Lampshade Hanging]] how impossible it's that her hair is always adored with flowers ''from nowhere''.

* Portgas D. Rouge, Ishilly and an unnamed mermaid from ''[[One Piece]]''.
