A young child with long blonde hair is gleefully tromping through a field of bright flowers. Text overlay reads: “FUCK YOU, FLOWERS how does it feel to get kicked right in the face?

A shitpost but deserves some nerdy clarification. Flowers pollinated by animals(bees, ants, moths, bats, etc) are almost never the source of hay fever type allergies. These include almost every flower you can think of including the tulips seen here. The reason is that pollen of these plants needs to cling to their pollinators to be transported and thus have not evolutionarily selected for being moved by wind currents.

The ones that are wind-pollinated produce the respiratory allegic reactions. These are oaks, gingko, willows, pines, cedars, most grasses (rice, corn, wheat, barley, rye, bamboo), hops, ragweed (not goldenrod as is often conflated) etc.

The exception are moulds, but they are not pollen-producing nor even flowering plants at all. They produce spores. If you want to have a mind fuck look up the reproduction cycle of ferns, moulds, etc.

I mean, OP’s title aside, there’s nothing in the meme itself that implies that she’s exacting revenge on the flowers for her allergies. She could just be a little psychopath who enjoys kicking flowers in the face.

I kinda identify with that tbh.

My clarification does not come from a place of negativity just trying to elucidate on a very commonly held perspective presented clearly in the post.

Flowers are the genitalia of the plant so not really kicking them in the face as such

Go outside and enjoy the tree jizz up your nose!

T-shirt checks out.

If I remember correctly, flowers are the reproductive parts of the plant, so it's more like kicking them in the nuts.

So glad the season has mostly ended here. I rarely get seasonal allergies, but this year was brutal.
