Flor do Caribe (English: Caribbean Flower) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Rede Globo originally ran from March 11 to September 19, 2013.
Cassiano (Henri Castelli), an air force pilot, and Ester (Grazi Massafera), a tourist guide, fall madly in love at a young age. Their love grows throughout the years until they fall victim to a treacherous plot carried out by Alberto (Igor Rickli). This unscrupulous friend, who secretly loves the young woman, creates a plan to get rid of his rival. After being assigned by Alberto to deliver diamonds in the Caribbean, Cassiano suddenly disappears and is presumed dead. While Cassiano falls prey to dangerous Dom Rafael, Alberto takes the opportunity to comfort Ester and, fulfilling his evil plan, they marry.
