{{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.
