About Plumeria Flowers and Symbolism: Plumeria tropical flowers are the most common here in Hawai`i. Also known as Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) or the Hawaiian Lei flower, they blossom from a tropical flowering tree nearly year round. Extraordinary in beautiful and scent, Plumeria flowers thrive in tropical climates and are highly abundant in Hawai`i. Plumeria are valued as landscape plants, ornamentals, and for their flowers. The flowers come in seemingly endless varieties of color, size and fragrance. Flowers can be strung together to make a lei which is presented to friends and guests of either gender and worn around the neck or a single flowers can be worn over a female's ear. Plumeria is related to the Oleander, and both possess a poisonous, milky sap. Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply fake their pollinators. The flowers come in gorgeous rose-pink color brushed with bronze and many other combinations of color patterns. Frangipani flowers have a wonderful tropical essence. The Frangipani flower commonly has five propeller-shaped petals with a delicate yellow center melting into the creamy white outer petals. These beautiful flowers have a rich and deep symbolism in many ancient cultures making it a wonderful choice for a very symbolic and meaningful pendant. The Hawaiians have always had a close relationship with nature and the beauty of the islands. They have always especially appreciated the ocean and the many tropical flowers inhabiting the islands. To Hawai`i, the Plumeria flower is a symbol of Spring and therefore is associated with birth and life. Plumerias are certainly symbols of Aloha. This explains why their images can be found in the logos and advertising of even the most unlikely businesses. And the fragrance? Mmmm….. If you’ve ever smelled them you would know what this means. Combining these characteristics along with symbolism of life and the arrival of Spring creates a magical formula that is essence and ambiance of Hawai`i and the Aloha Spirit.
