Description
The Pink Hibiscus Garden - Dora Sofia Caputo
In Victorian times, giving a hibiscus meant that the giver was acknowledging the receiver's delicate beauty. In China, hibiscuses symbolize the fleeting and beauty of fame or personal glory.
In the Hawaiian culture, the plumeria symbolizes positivity and is used in leis or to celebrate special occasions. When worn in the hair, the plumeria flower symbolizes the relationship status of the wearer. A flower over the right ear means she is available while one over the left means she is taken.

I like the perspective here a lot, Dora, with the sharp, colorful blossoms in the foreground and the softer, more muted tones of the house in the background.
