Dainty Pink

Hibiscus flowers come in hundreds of different species and depending on the color of the flower can symbolize a variety of things. A white flower usually represents purity and beauty, while a yellow flower - also the state flower of Hawaii - stands for happiness and good luck. Red flowers are a symbol of passion and pink flowers signify friendship.

Traditionally, a hibiscus flower is worn by girls or women from the islands of Tahiti and Hawaii. It is said that when a woman wears the flower behind her left ear, this would represent that she is married or has a boyfriend. However, when she wears the flower behind her right ear, this would symbolize that she is single or open for a relationship.
