{{quote|''"She has flowers in her hair and bluebirds singing around her head. Who did you think she was, the bringer of pestilence?"''
|'''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.

** 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''.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* Gertrud of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', in that she's female and that she has flowers in her hair. She's also a giant butterfly monster with a mass of what appears to be moss in place of hair, which has roses growing on it. [[Our Monsters Are Weird|Yeah]].

* Beatrice of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' has a large red flower in her hair, but she's not "good" {{spoiler|(at first; it's complicated)}}.
== Web Comics ==
* Eutropia from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120717220415/http://amazoness.co.uk/eutropia.htm Amazoness]''. This trope is also played with, since {{spoiler|Eutropia is actually physically male, but he was raised as a girl}}.
* The page quote is from [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0501.html strip #501] of ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''. Incidentally, Kazumi Kato is also wearing a flower in her hair for her marriage.
* Tanna of ''[[Ears for Elves]]'' doesn't like wearing the wreaths of herublossoms at the Taurëcuiva Festival like the other women and girls, but Rolan [https://web.archive.org/web/20150121074236/http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/476 thinks the flowers suit her].

* [[Rebellious Princess|Princess Amalia]] of ''[[Wakfu]]'', pictured above. The big flower closes at night and even wilts when Amalia is dying in season 1 episode 7, so it is clearly a real one, kept alive by the Sadida's [[Green Thumb]] powers.

* [[wikipedia:Niecy Nash|Niecy Nash]] seems to do this quite often.
