[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in CA as well, lots of influence from Hawaii and surf culture in general, and they're part of graduations here, like it or not.  Order from a florist ($40-80), get them from Costco ($19.99) or make your own ($7-10)

There are YouTube tutorials galore.  Grab a long needle (doll needle or the like) and some dental floss.  You can use almost any flower but carnations and spray roses are easiest/most cost effective.  But from TJ's a few days before you need them (so they open to the max).  It took me about 2 hours to make 8 for my kid and friends.  Fun creative challenge to make in college colors for each kid.[/quote]

Is this popular anywhere else in the country?[/quote]

My niece graduated from a small college in Spokane, Washington about five years ago, and I would say half of the students wore them at the graduation.  Many of them looked Hawaiian but also lots of white kids wore them too. That was the first time I had ever seen that tradition. I think it's become a west coast tradition as my DD is graduating from UCLA this year and she said lots of her classmates will be wearing them (she is not).
