Hip college students and grown folks alike are scratching their clover-laden heads wondering who got the idea to walk around with Frances Hodgson Burnett’s Secret Garden sprouting from their tresses. “I think this comes more from Western culture,” one student told the Times. “It’s fun, but I guess it’s also about protecting the environment, to show that you care about nature,” a peddler of the green headgear offered (which is interesting considering the country is one of the biggest polluters of out planet).
But probably the best explanation came from a 24-year-old medical student, who best sums up how the trend caught on: “When I first saw them, I thought, ‘that’s strange,’ but everyone was wearing them… I thought it was fun and entertaining, so I also put one on, too.”

One taco short of a combination plate.
Isn’t it San Francisco where they wear flowers in their hair? The artificial ones at least have to be more economical.
If anything, they should be wearing real plants on their head. It would serve the purpose of allowing them to breath semi-clean air.
Sounds about as silly as ‘red nose day’ being pushed by some.
LoL. I read it as plastic pants. lol.. Maybe that will be next.
“Everyone”????? Looks like only a few silly young people having fun with a goofy fad to me.
There has to be a “fertilizer for brains” joke in that somewhere.
Grampa Simpson: We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
I like “Talk Like a Pirate Day”.................arrrrghh..............

Yep, plastic pants is what I read also.
I googled “pants” because I had to see what this looked like..
plants looks almost as dumb
I thought the title said plastic “ pants” too.
Someone could be trolling the Chinese. Like when 4-Chan convinced feminists to pee their pants for ‘equality’. See: #pissforequality
It goes to prove America is not the only country with nutsey people.
Taking the ever popular sport of Trepanning to new heights I see.
