Nations in Bloom

Hi everyone,

I like flowers and my favorite flower is Hibicus and Frangipani (Dok Champa/Plumeria)

When I was on the plane, I found this topic on a magazine is really good. "More than just pretty plants, flowers are scented symbols with stories of their own. Here we explore the fascinating symbolism behind national flowers from some of the countries."

Sorry to tell you this but I really did it. I stole this several pages from the magazine!!!!! Please don't blame me as I really wanna keep it!!!!

Hope you find these beautiful flowers meaningful!!

  1. Funny how certain pages feel too precious to leave behind, right? Flowers carry so much history and emotion across cultures, and national blooms really do tell you a lot about a place without a single word spoken. Loved how you brought that curiosity here. If you ever feel like exploring nature and symbolism in the mountains, a Bhutan tour has its own quiet floral magic woven into daily life.
