I'm guessing Polynesian cultures that have (or at least are represented as having) flower crowns as traditional garb things. I know very little about said cultures, so I have no clue what kind of significance the flower crowns might have, but that's the only thing I can come up with. I am puzzled.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Flowers and the wreaths have a great deal of significance. Each flower or leaf means something, as well as the wreath or lei they are made into.

[rapunzelita]

Thank you for the info :) It looks quite interesting, I'll definitely look into it.

On the other hand, making decoration out of flowers isn't really specifically Polynesian (is that an ok term?) - though it would seem having strong symbolic meaning attached to it is. What I mean is that I don't really see how it's appropriative? Given that the idea is not to (mis)represent a specific culture, just something that many humans in many different cultures do.

I'd say if they were using flowers and leaves that are native to the Polynesian Islands, and the styles they use, I'd say yes, but I couldn't begin to tell you which ones are - it's been years since I was over there.

A garland of roses, country flowers, or a daisy chain isn't appropriative but hibiscus or a certain leaf that I can't remember the name of could possibly be.

[(Anonymous)]

So it's appropriative of Polynesian culture to use hibiscus, so we can't do that.

But roses or daisies AREN'T appropriative, so we can? Or they ARE appropriative, but it doesn't matter, because the cultures that have roses and daisies already have flower power privilege???

[(Anonymous)]

could possibly be.

Need it broken down into smaller syllables?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt can you give me a working example of a possible flower appropriation? unless your going to say the meme cause that will take us in circles

[(Anonymous)]

"flower appropriation"

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, please.

Flower Power Privilege will be my band's name.

[(Anonymous)]

You owe me a quarter when you get famous. And you'll pay up; otherwise, I will write dreadful OOC RPF fic of you and your band. Muahahah!

[(Anonymous)]

For the love of god, please tell me you're trolling. I can barely stand to read your posts for the secondhand embarassment.

The Polynesians is one of several cultures from around the world that have had flower and plant based crowns. Another known one is the olive branch crowns that the Romans would wear. The Celts would wear flower crowns, the more like the ones in the photos, during May Day. (Roses, like the flowers in the pictures, aren't tropical. So, they wouldn't be Polynesian.)

Many cultural things overlap. For example, tattoos can be found in cultures across the planet from the Norse to the Aztecs to the Inu.

Laurel wreaths, not olive branches. Think Bay leaves that get put in cooking, then think of a crown made out of those (fresh leaves, not dried).

I'd love to have a Bay Laurel tree. I have this strong impression bay leaves are a nice glossy deep green when fresh.
