The Flower Tuck

I've been to Hawaii several times now, but I had no idea the flower women tuck behind their ears meant anything other than a pretty flower. Today I learned it tells much more than I ever knew. If you wear the flower on your left side, it means you are married or your heart is taken (as your wedding ring and your heart are on the left side of your body). If you wear the flower on your right side it means you are single. Fascinating! I took this photo before I learned the meaning of the flowers behind the ear. Luckily, I tucked it behind the correct ear!
