Hibiscus is a genus of flowering
plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several
hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical
regions throughout the world. The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian
and Hawaiian girls. If the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is
married or in a relationship. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single
or openly available for a relationship. The hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower. Source
