A hat formed out of that absorbent (usually green)florist foam. It would hold water and keep your head cool and you could have a fresh flower arrangement to change at will throughout the day.

As long as it could also be done in a drover style, it has my vote.

No more fumbling for pipe cleaners, either.

Beautiful idea. Could cover it with fragrant roses and lavender in the summer. Might be a bit heavy but who cares.

I'm bunning this only because someday I may want to divert attention away from my pattern balding tward a more colorful floral mohawk arrangement ... HOWEVER, that green foam stuff rubs off in small particles which ends up EVERYWHERE, and can be quite messy ... perhapse laminating, or sealing the bottom might be in order ... also handy if you want a fountain to go with your banzai tree headpiece.

Great idea [C_I]. Could be great for weddings/ funerals/ Valentines day and the like. A bun of oasis for you!

I like it, [Cap'n]. Fresh flowers being one of the most pleasant fragrances in the world I bun thee. + Yes, it would be heavy and even a bit sloppy, but for parties, I'd have it no other way.

dobtabulous, a bee hive hat in the same room could really be a problem.
