China Flower Association recommended peony as the national flower. What other flowers do you think can have the image of the national flower?

The national flower, as its name implies, refers to the flower that can represent a country. Every country has different criteria for selecting national flowers, but most of the selection criteria are flowers that can represent a country's cultural history and are deeply loved by the people. Most people in China elect peony as the national flower, but I think besides peony, plum blossom, orchid and lotus also have the image of the national flower. Let me talk about it separately:

First, plum blossom

Everyone knows that plum blossom is one of the four gentlemen. In ancient times, many poets and painters liked plum blossom very much. They will use poems and paintings to express their praise for plum blossoms. In our textbook, we have learned the poem "Plum blossoms come from bitter cold". We all know that plum blossoms are different from other plants. It can survive and bloom in cold environment. It has a tenacious and fearless quality. People often use plum blossom to praise a person's indomitable character, so plum blossom has the image of the national flower.

Second, orchids

Light color and fragrant smell, orchids always give people a feeling of elegance and beauty. Moreover, the national orchid variety in orchids is only available in China, so the unique orchid national orchid can also be selected as the national flower.

Third, lotus.

Living in the mud, but still so pure, in the "out of the mud without dyeing, clear ripple without demon" that we have all learned, we expressed the noble character of the lotus. We also often use lotus flowers to praise those "honest officials". Shouldn't such a beautiful and refined lotus flower also become a national flower?

Everyone has different views and ideas about the national flower. In fact, no matter what flowers you like, as long as they can represent the excellent traditional culture and history of the Chinese nation, they can all become national flowers.
