These flowers have five petals, and “penta” refers to the prefix meaning “five.” In Ancient Greece, pentas flowers symbolized chastity. In modern times, the pentagon shape is also symbolic of love and protection in many cultures around the world. Pentas flowers are also a symbol of peace. The pentacle is the five-pointed star that has been used for centuries in many cultures to represent protection and balance, so the pentas is often seen as a talisman of sorts against evil spirits, demons, hexes or spells. In some cultures, pentas blooms represent good luck or fortune due to their five petals resembling gold coins. The penta flower can also symbolize the 5th wedding anniversary celebration, as well as the fifth day of creation when God created all things living and inanimate.
