Best Answer

In Tahiti, how the flower is worn in the hair by women is a signal of their relationship status, known as "The Language of Flowers".

Worn behind your right ear; you are single, available.

Worn behind your left ear; you are married, engaged or otherwise taken.

Worn behind both ears; you are married but still available.

Worn backward behind your ear; you are available immediately.
