* An InvokedTrope in "Nemesis". Chakotay is shot down on a planet where gallant guerilla fighters are battling aliens who commit atrocities ForTheEvulz. He's taken to a village where a young girl greets him by placing a ring of flowers around his neck, and later decides to join the guerillas after seeing her and the other villages dragged off to be executed. Turns out the whole scenario is designed to brainwash Chakotay and other conscripted soldiers into hating the enemy. Chakotay is taken back to the village at the end of the episode only to have the [[NotQuiteDead exact same girl greet him in the exact same manner.

* Kes in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' is portrayed as kind-hearted, gentle and [[BoldExplorer eager to experience the wonders of the universe]]. She builds a hydroponics garden in Voyager's cargo bay in which she grows flowers. In episodes like "Cold Fire", "Warlord" and "Fury" where Kes shows her DarkSide, she'll be shown tending to those flowers to set a deliberate contrast.

* Kira from VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsPhoenixWrightAceAttorney poses as one of these but is actually [[spoiler:a witch]].

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] ''literal'' flower girls such as Sunny Funny in ''VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper'', or Cheza in ''Anime/WolfsRain'' (she's a hybrid of human and flower DNA). FlowerMotifs are not enough to make an example of this trope; at the very least, there need to be corporeal flowers present.

* ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'' has a shy, [[TheVoiceless apparently mute]] girl who [[OnceAnEpisode continually attempts]], without success, to give Basara a bouquet of flowers. One starts to wonder if he's ignoring her on purpose.
** She eventually succeeds in the final episode. She tosses her flowers in shock and Basara manages to catch them, on the fly no less.

* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Aerith]] from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Subverted when she turns out to be neither shy nor reserved. [[ItWasHisSled She did]] [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth die a]] [[TearJerker tear-jerking]] [[DeathByNewberyMedal death]].
** Aerith gets a cameo in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''. In a sidequest, she is nearly sold into prostitution by the local thugs [[spoiler:before Cloud, newly arrived in Ivalice, saves the day.]]

* [[VideoGame/{{Terranigma}} Would you like a flower? Make a girl or a penguin talk!]]
** She's not exactly innocent - she just acts that way. Refusing to buy a flower nets Ark a nice little insult (though admittedly, he does refuse really tactlessly).

** And Mariel from ''[[VideoGame/WildArms1 Wild ARMs]]''; Florina is pretty much an {{Expy}} of her. In the remake, Mariel can join your party, but she can't really attack enemies, only use healing abilities based on the ubiquitous berries.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

* Aeris/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Aerith]] from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Subverted when she turns out to be neither shy nor reserved. [[ItWasHisSled She did]] [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth die a]] [[TearJerker tear-jerking]] [[DeathByNewberyMedal death]].

* Kes in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' is portrayed as kind-hearted, gentle and eager to experience the wonders of the universe. She builds a hydroponics garden in the cargo bay in which she grows flowers.

Definitely not to be confused with the "flower girls" of Victorian England who were in fact [[TheOldestProfession prostitutes]] (although many were actual flower sellers, the greater part were only using the flowers as a front). [[FetishFuel Hopefully.]]

* The original "Literature/TheLittleMermaid", the tragic one, grew underwater flowers and plants in her spare time. [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid The Disney movie]] has a scene Ariel sitting on a rock, playing LovesMeNot with an underwater plant, possibly as a MythologyGag.

* The original "Literature/TheLittleMermaid", the tragic one, grew underwater flowers and plants in her spare time. The ''[[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection]]'' cover of [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid the movie]] has Ariel sitting on a rock preoccupied with underwater plants, possibly as a MythologyGag.

* Another Creator/HansChristianAndersen character, the "Literature/LittleMatchGirl", fits the trope as well, except for what she sells.

Not to be confused with ''literal'' flower girls such as Sunny Funny in ''VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper'', or Cheza in ''Anime/WolfsRain'' (she's a hybrid of human and flower DNA). FlowerMotifs are not enough to make an example of this trope; at the very least, there need to be corporeal flowers present.

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', Sofie from the Hearthfire DLC is in Windhelm selling flowers since her mother died and her Stormcloak father disappeared in the war. The player can help her out by buying her flowers, or adopt her if they have a house.

Do not confuse with InnocentFanserviceGirl.

%%* Polka from ''VideoGame/EternalSonata''.

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' Sofie from the Hearthfire DLC is in Windhelm selling flowers since her parents are dead. However you can adopt her if you have a house to live in.

* ''LightNovel/KagerouDaze'': Mary. It's PlayedForLaughs when it's mentioned that she makes artificial flowers... but the income they generate is so small that it's barely noticeable. [[spoiler:She also happened to die a [[TeensAreMonsters very sad death]] on August 15th about a century ago, but is [[BackFromTheDead still alive because]] (a) the creator of the eternal Heat Haze world is her grandmother (and had the powers necessary to resurrect her) and (b) she's 1/4 medusa, meaning her aging process is immensely slow (she appears about 14, despite being ten times that age)]].

* Ophelia, ''{{Hamlet}}''. Depending on one's interpretation of the scene, the flowers Ophelia hands out may only exist in her mind. And they're not so innocent, considering each of her flowers represents a thinly veiled criticism of the people she hands them to.

** Played with Nina from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonSNES'' and her granddaughter Popuri from ''VideoGame/{{Harvest Moon 64}}''. They adore plants and work at flower shops but are loud and spunky. Popuri's mother Lillia fit closer to the archetype in ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature''. She's Popuri's IllGirl mother whose husband left on a journey to heal her.

* ''Franchise/HarvestMoon'':

* Hanami in ''{{Tasakeru}}'' is a {{Deconstruction}} of this trope.

* Polka from ''EternalSonata''.

* Ameena Leffeld from ''Star Ocean Till the End of Time'' fits this trope perfectly. For special bonus points, she also looks a great deal like Aerith.

* TheBeatles' "Penny Lane": "Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout, a pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray."
