That the flowers were being put on the graves had literally* never occured to me as an explanation until you said it in this comment. But we did get an awful lot of "People are destroying the environment AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT" that was palpable bollocks and clearly ran deep, so assuming that picking flowers was the moral equivalent felt entirely correct at the time.
