During each of my trips, I try not only to see all kinds of sights and natural beauties, but also to immerse myself in the culture of the country I visit. Since the time of each trip is usually very limited, I try to get to know at least the main symbols of the country and understand what their secret lies and why the people of this or that country revere their symbols so deeply. Recently, I have begun to pay more and more attention to the natural symbols of the countries I visit. It turned out that many plants, and in particular, flowers that we perceive simply as an attribute of beauty, have deep roots and exciting stories in almost all countries of the world.

Right now, I would like to share some fascinating information about plants that are symbols of exactly those countries where our tourists most often rest.

Plants-symbols of different countries

Each of our favorite countries has its own symbol - a beautiful flower. But it does not become a symbol of the country because of its attractive external data, but because of the historical, and possibly mythical circumstances of its appearance in a particular country.

So, here is a list of the countries we visit most and their plant symbols:

• Tulip - a symbol of Turkey. Despite the fact that now we all associate tulips with Holland, in fact, this is a purely oriental flower. It was brought to the Ottoman Empire from Persia. And since then, the Ottoman rulers and the common people fell in love with it so much that to this day it adorns all the major cities of the country.
• Lotus is a symbol of Egypt. According to ancient Egyptian legends, it was in the lotus flower that the sun god Ra was born, which was the beginning of all life. The Egyptians, to this day, greatly honor the legends of their country as one of the oldest powers in the world. That is why the lotus is the symbol of Egypt.
• Narcissus is a symbol of China. as well as Egypt, one of the most ancient countries. Therefore, the symbols of the Middle Kingdom are also associated with ancient legends. According to one of them, a poor Chinese woman gave the last portion of rice to a beggar who turned out to be a deity, thanking her in full and giving her a narcissus flower. Since then, the daffodil has become a symbol of gratitude and a symbol of the whole country.
• The rose is the symbol of Great Britain. In one of the world's oldest monarchies, the red rose became a national symbol as a result of Henry Tudor's victory in 1458.
• Lily - a symbol of France. This delicate flower fell in love with the kings of France and became the emblem of royal power. Since then, much has changed in France, and the monarchy has been replaced by a republic, but the lily is still a symbol of the country and is present on the coat of arms of France.

Plants-symbols of Russia

The symbol of our beautiful homeland is chamomile, which can be found in every corner of the country.

We consider plants-symbols and national flowers of the countries of the world, official and folk. Look at which countries which flower has become a symbol and what has earned people's love.

Flowers and plants - national symbols and defenders of the country

Flowers have penetrated deeply into our lives and have taken an important place there, and some of their species even influence the existence of states.

For example, as a symbol of Scotland - thistle, which back in the 13th century protected the Scots from the attack of the Normans. During one of the raids, the Normans decided to attack at night and so that no one would hear them, they took off their shoes.

But for a long time they could not go barefoot as they stepped on thistles. Starting to scream in pain, they betrayed themselves and the plan failed, and the Scots made the thistle their symbol.

A fact of this magnitude speaks volumes. Many flowers have become the hallmark of countries, and some of them are an important part of the economy.

• Being the flower symbol of the country is a great honor, deserved by centuries of people's love.

Many national flowers of the countries of the world not only delighted the inhabitants with their appearance and aroma, but became real life savers. During famine, terrible epidemics and devastation, they saved people from death.

It is not surprising that society has not forgotten its heroes, and flowers have become a symbol of warmth and kindness. We would like to bring to your attention some national flowers of the countries of the world.
