For some men, the idea of wearing a flower as an accessory would have them running for the hills. But not for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The footballer happily wore the pink bloom behind his ear while relaxing in the Italian sunshine.
It was perhaps intended to complement his pink baseball cap, which he wore backwards on his head.

Completing the outfit was a pair of very tight white shorts, white trainers, a string of pearls, a blue polo shirt and sunglasses.
The Manchester United star chatted with a male and a female companion against the backdrop of a stone wall.
His balding companion was seen reaching out to adjust the button on Ronaldo's shirt, and later laying his hand against the footballer's rippling stomach.

The trio then rode off in a golf cart, with Ronaldo taking the wheel, the mystery brunette by his side and his male friend perched on the back.
It is not the first time Ronaldo has made a bizarre wardrobe choice. He has previously been seen in white skinny jeans, Freedy Mercury-style yellow leather jackets and low V-neck tops.
Last week the world's 'number one' footballer was outclassed on the football pitch when Manchester United were defeated 2-0 in the Champions League final defeat by Barcelona.

But he appears to have shrugged off the disappointment while soaking up the sunshine in Sardinia.
Earlier, wearing his favourite sunbathing outfit - a silver crucifix and white swimming shorts - he lay down on a sunbed before diving into the ocean to cool off.
Perhaps the 24-year-old is planning on repeating last year's impressive display of tanning - when he turned a deep mahogany colour.
The £100,000-a-week star spent his recuperation from ankle surgery soaking up the rays on a daily basis with a gaggle of supermodels.

This time the Portuguese heart-throb won't have long to enjoy the sun in Porto Cervo before it's back to the training ground.
Worth an estimated £70million, Ronaldo has continued to play down reports he will leave Manchester United for a move to Real Madrid.
Last year he angered fans by accusing his club of treating him 'like a slave', despite his enormous salary.
The beaches of Sardinia are a favourite holiday spot. He was there last year with then girlfriend, Spanish model Nereida Gallardo.
