Plumeria

The Plumeria originates from the Caribbean.

 

Spanish priests have taken this beautiful plant to America. The plant is also distributed to Australian by Polynesian missionaries and from there further distributed by Catholic missionaries. The Plumeria has a special significance in Polynesian culture. This is because the flower is worn there by women to show whether they are looking for a relationship. Does the woman wear the flower over her right ear? Then she is searching. If she carries flower over her left ear it means that she is busy. In the Hindu culture, the flower is a symbol of loyalty.
