Etymology[]
Ping (ピン? 苹) - Ping is a Chinese word that means "apple" if it's translated into English. This meaning may be a reference to her alter ego, Cure Sencha, who is based on Chinese Sencha tea with apple blossoms. 苹 can combined with 果, which means "fruit", and will still mean "apple".
Huayuan (フアユアン? 花园) - Huayuan comes from 花 meaning "flower", "blossom", "bloom" or "fancy pattern", combined with 园 meaning "garden". So Huayuan literally means "flower garden".

Cure Sencha's primary attack is called Green Apple Taste (グリーンアップルテイスト?) which she can only use with the power of her Flowerie. To use it, she calls out for Apple's power inside her Green Pendant. She shouts, "Explore the green aroma!" Then, her pendant starts glowing and she draws a clover ♣ with both of her hands.
