In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Macron buried in flowers” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2905 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Macron buried in flowers” meme mean?
The meme gently mocks excess: too many flowers, too many garlands, too much of everything. It is used to comment on an oversized gift, a lavish reception, or someone drowning in compliments or responsibilities. It can also stand for any overload, such as a pile of tasks or notifications. The image became a well-known example of a retouched picture that fooled even journalists before fact-checks set the record straight.
Where does the “Macron buried in flowers” meme come from?
In 2021, Emmanuel Macron made his first official trip to French Polynesia. There, as in Wallis and Futuna, it is customary to offer visitors garlands of flowers and shells, and the president received many of them, notably in the Tuamotu islands, according to BFMTV. An edit then went around showing him almost entirely covered by garlands, with more than three million views on social media according to a Nouvel Obs video title. HuffPost reported that foreign journalists had been fooled by the doctored image. The retouched version lived on as a meme.
