Wear Flowers in Your Hair is the first mission in the San Fierro strand of missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Mission
Carl, Cesar, Kendl and The Truth enter the garage in San Fierro. CJ is furious that Claude gave him this run down, old Xoomer station (the Doherty Garage) instead of a pink slip when he won the race. It clearly isn't a garage, but Kendl is determined to make it into a garage. It would take a lot of hard work, but she manages to persuade CJ, and they decide to give it a go. She also says if CJ is going to make that place into a garage, he'll need a few workmen. Truth knows of a few acquaintances who can help turn the garage into a successful chop-shop and has Carl drive to specific locations in the city to meet them; eventually, the duo succeed in convincing Dwaine, Jethro, and Zero to join the venture.
After recruiting Dwaine at Easter Basin, Truth asks Carl to make a few seemingly random stops to monitor the activities of some mysterious vans. One of the stops he asks CJ to make is directly in front of San Fierro Medical Center, where The Truth admonishes the other passengers to "think about a yellow rubber duck" as a van emerges from the medical center's parking lot. Without explanation, The Truth urges Carl on to the next stop. Next, he asks CJ to visit Jethro at his hot dog van. Then, he asks CJ to go to the San Fierro Police Station to see the van again. Lastly, he asks CJ to pick up Zero at his shop and then the four of them return to the Doherty Garage together. Carl then introduce the new workers to Cesar and Kendl suggests about the property business.
Reward
There is no reward for this mission, but the mission 555 We Tip is unlocked. Also, Zero calls you and says that his landlord is selling his shop. Presuming that you bought it (for $30,000), the mission Air Raid is unlocked.
Trivia
- The main purpose of this level, other than introducing new characters for the next chapter of the storyline, is to help familiarize the player with the layout of San Fierro.
- If Zero is killed, he will drop Satchel Charges and a Detonator. The Detonator was presumably repurposed to be a remote control for the RC Raider, since a texture file for a remote control dosen't exist.
- Sometimes, about 10% of the time, Zero's model is missing when you drive at his place. There's another model instead Zero and the game will crash. This glitch occurs also in some other missions, but specifically in this mission.
- There is a reference to GTA VC, as The Truth tells Carl about the Jethro and Dwaine who works around San Fierro because the mob bought their business in Vice City. A reference to Tommy Vercetti, who might have bought Jethro and Dwaine's Boatyard in Vice City, forcing them to leave the city and later end up in San Fierro.
- During the mission, if Carl leaves the car, The Truth talks to him using the same distorted voice as Mike Toreno.
- The name of the mission - along with the mission Are You Going To San Fierro? which unlocks the mission - is a reference to the Scott McKenzie song "San Francisco (Be sure to wear flowers in your hair)".
- In the last cutscene the song heard playing in the background is "Check Your Self" by Ice Cube, the song could also be heard on Radio Los Santos.
- You can get off the car and shoot to destroy Zero's toy, he will still sit there and seems to play his toy.
