Answer #2 Aloha Jennifer, Women wear different flowers in their hair. It can be a
gardenia, a plumeria or a hibiscus. They come in different colors and it always
depends on the season when they bloom. On the left ear, it means you are
married, engaged or with someone, on the right ear you are free. The Hawaiian
name for flower is "pua" ( pronounced "poo-ah" ). Hibiscus is our state flower
and its Hawaiian name is "aloalo" pronounced "ah-low-ah-low". For the plumeria
it is "melia" pron."may-lee-ah", but melia also means quiet ocean. As for
Gardenia it is "kiele" pron. "key-eh-lay". Women also wear puakinikini flowers
and others. I would say the most common is the Plumeria, but there is no
specific flower only that women wear, also no specific name for the art of
wearing flowers in hair or behind ear. Aloha no! Malia - answered by TL1
