Flower Meaning - Right or Left Ear

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I can never remember. On which side does one wear a flower behind the ear if a single woman? My friends and I want to wear flowers behind our ears for fun.

Signed,

Flower fun

Dear Flower fun,

A flower behind the right ear means the woman is single; behind the left ear she is married or not available. Associate the wedding ring on the left hand with the flower on the left.

Generally, the significance of placing the flower on the right or left ear is meaningful only in Hawaii, Tahiti, or other Polynesian island.
