I’ve done it now and then. I’d never buy a flower specifically for that purpose, but if there are flowers handy (say I’m at a wedding reception, and it’s toward the end of the night and people are dancing, and the flowers have served their purpose and will get tossed or given away to guests anyway…) then I might grab one and tuck it behind my ear or affix it with a hair tie or something.
If someone gives me a flower or I see an easy-to-pick and clearly-not-owned-by-someone flower along the way, I’ll stick it behind my ear. I’m a pretty whimsical person in general.
I have a few silk flowers attached to barrettes, for my daughter to wear in her hair when she wants to put a flower in it. I don’t wear them myself, because I tend to look silly wearing most hair ornaments.
I often wear my long hair in a bun, and occasionally I’ll tuck a flower into it; or put one on my sunhat. I get them from the garden, usually. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a flower for the purpose, although I might have used one from a bunch someone gave me.
I would not pick a flower from someone else’s yard, unless it was something like a danelion.
More often flowers in my hair are by accident. When I work in the garden I occasionally get flowers from the evil wisteria caught in my hair, where they stay until I notice them. My SO won’t tell me they’re there.
It’s probably fair enough for Niecy Nash to wear flowers in her hair.
Anything to detract from that huge ass. I’m sorry your eyes bled corkboard. I managed to catch mine just after they popped out therefore avoiding any abrasions.

Heart of Dorkness**, I love ‘whimsical’ when it means ‘drunk’. It makes most of my worst decisions whimsical.
Picking a flower and giving it to a girl to put in her hair is the ultimate cheap date trick. Come across as a compelling romantic and save money at the same time!
As long as it’s a flower that does not belong to anyone. I’d be pissed if my date stole a rose from someone’s yard and handed it to me. I’ve had to stop growing flowers along my front fence because people (kids, I’d assumed) were tearing the blossoms off.
I have a few fake ones on barrettes or ponytail holders. Every now and then, I’d pick one from a cherry blossom tree or my mom’s yard or something. I don’t do it so much anymore (guess I’m less whimsical than I used to be) as I used to. I’d do it a lot before dates, I think. I had long, flowing, wavy hair, a hippie sensibility… flowers just seemed to fit.
