DescriptionAccording to the language of flowers, plumeria symbolizes beauty, charm, perfection and regality.This flower arrived in Sicily in the mid-eighteenth century.It is a very widespread flower in Palermo, the capital of Sicily, so much so that it has become a symbol of the city.This flower made the first appearances in the bunches of the noblewomen who toured the center of Palermo, as well as in the streets and sumptuous noble palaces of the center.In Palermo the plumerias are not kept in the home but on the balcony. It is said that a mother who has a daughter cannot keep plumeria at home because otherwise the daughter won’t marry. Everyone says they don’t believe this legend but, for some reason, the balconies of Palermo are full of fragrant plumerias!
