The hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus sabdariffa, is a tropical plant known for its bright red flowers. Native to Africa, it is a versatile plant that can be grown in tropical and subtropical climates.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythology, the hibiscus represents the feminine universe directly related to the goddesses Aphrodite, Venus, and Isis. Many myths, legends, and traditions surround this flower, including in Tahiti, where young women identify their love status through the position of the hibiscus in their ears. According to this tradition, women who have placed the hibiscus in the corner of their right ear can find a partner. If not, they’ve already found him. The hibiscus flower is also used to offer to tourists as a gesture of welcome to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n
