In Asian cultures, the
Frangipani tree is associated with mysticism. The tree is said to provide refuge to spirits and the flower is commonly used in Hindu religious ceremonies.
Polynesian women wear the flowers to express their relationship status -- over the right ear if they are single
and over the left if they are 'taken' or in a committed relationship.
The tree thrives even in hard, inhospitable earth. Its gnarled, leafless stem belies its ability to soon become lush and sprouting fragrant blooms. Hence the Frangipani is also symbolic of rebirth and regeneration.
