Next, Horseshoe Bay Beach in Bermuda is known for its splendid turquoise water and pastel-pink sand.

Aloha! The tropical flower hibiscus is instantly recognizable. These plants flourish in various climates, from sunny beaches to lush rainforests. They are famous for their large, showy flowers in a rainbow of colors, including white, pink, red, blue, orange, peach, yellow, and purple. Some species even change color as they age!

You might also know that the hibiscus flower is firmly rooted in Hawaiian culture and has a special place as an island symbol. The yellow hibiscus, known in the Hawaiian language as “pua mao hau hele” or “Ma’o hau hele”, is the state flower. It symbolizes beauty, grace, and generosity. No wonder you can see it growing throughout the islands with its pattern adorning clothing.

Should you take an island vacation, here’s something you should know about the hibiscus flower. If it’s worn behind the right ear, it shows that the wearer is single. On the left, it suggests that the wearer is in a relationship.
