1. Yes, paper tissue ones. They are used as decorations and to put in girls' hair.
2. Here are some (very slightly different) methods to make those tissue paper flowers. The internet has many more webpages with instructions.
a) Amy's Favourites

b) Kansas City, Kansas Public Library
http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/ys/CRAFTS/Papflowr.htm
c) DLTK's Crafts for Kids (3 versions)
http://www.dltk-kids.com/world/mexico/tissueflowers.htm
d) Making Friends (giant flowers)

3. This website has some information about the use of flowers in Mexican traditions. You will notice that el Cinco de Mayo is not specifically mentioned in the flowers section.

4. However, florists will try to get in on the act, to boost sales. This is only to be expected...
