flower child
Flower child originated as a synonym for hippie, especially among the idealistic young people who gathered in San Francisco and the surrounding area during the Summer of Love in 1967. It was the custom of "flower children" to wear and distribute flowers or floral-themed decorations to symbolize ideals of universal belonging, peace and love. The mass media picked up on the term and used it to refer in a broad sense to any hippie. Flower children were also associated with the flower power political movement, which originated in ideas written by Allen Ginsberg in 1965.
==Origins==
(詳細はa film version of H. G. Wells's ''The Time Machine'' that depicted flower-bestowing, communal people of the future in a story characterized by antiwar themes. American political activists like Allen Ginsberg and Abbie Hoffman advocated the giving of flowers as a means of peaceful protest.〔("Allen Ginsburg" ), American Masters, Public Broadcasting System, pbs.org, retrieved 30-04-2009〕〔Tony Perry, ("Poet Allen Ginsberg Dies at 70" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', April 06, 1997〕 Images of flower-wielding protesters at the 1967 Pentagon March, such as Marc Riboud's image of Jan Rose Kasmir titled ''Flower Child'' and Bernie Boston's Pulitzer prize-nominated photograph ''Flower Power'',〔Bernie Boston, ("Flower Power" ), ''The Washington Evening Star'', October 21, 1967〕 popularized the association of flowers with the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Hippies embraced the symbolism by dressing in clothing with embroidered flowers and vibrant colors, wearing flowers in their hair, and distributing flowers to the public, becoming known as flower children.〔Rennay Craats, ''History of the 1960s'', Weigl Publishers Inc., 2001, p.36 ISBN 1-930954-29-8〕
In an October, 1967 episode of Batman, Milton Berle portrayed Louie the Lilac, who tried to conquer all of the flower children, including Yvonne Craig's Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. This was one of the earliest mentions of the term in mainstream media.
