The Flowers (sometimes credited as Flowers), active from 1978–1980, were a post-punk band from Scotland, part of the Edinburgh scene which spawned bands such as Scars, Josef K and The Fire Engines. They are known for their feminist lyrics and astringent music. The band, and the musical scene of which they were a part, are profiled in the 2015 film Big Gold Dream.
