    I think it was quite pan-sovietic (slavic) flower back then, given with many occasions - Women's Day, Teacher's Day etc.

    The main problem is that our country has not any "national flower" - just a national tree

    A couple weks ago, I have heard radio broadcasting where were Czech people asked what kind of flower deserves to be a "national flower" as a symbol of the country and its people.
    Czechs voted mostly for
    1) Lemon thyme
    2) Common daisy

    Both of the flowers had very poetic names in Czech and in literature are tied with legends and fairy-tales.





    Lemon thyme
    is called Mateřídouška in Czech. It means something like mother-breath, and a Czech poet K.J. Erben wrote a poem about the flower, based on folk legend what he heard.
    It is a story about a mother who died and her orphans were visiting her grave. Deceased mother changed herself in a flower what covered the grave. Her kids,
    when feeling the smells of the flower, recognized in it a breath of their mother and therefore named the flower mateřídouška - breath of the mother




    Common daisy - is called Sedmikráska chudobka in Czech. Sedmikráska means something like seven-beauty, and chudobka, is originated from adjective chudý, i.e. poor, simple. This flower is very durable and can grow everwhere.
    Czech pastor Jan Karafiát wrote a book for children named Fireflies. In the book is written that when a fireflie died, at its grave will grow a daisy flower.

    I was very surprized when I read books of English author J.R.R. Tolkien, that he mentioned a durable white flower what grows at graves of elves and warriors, there.
    He named the flower as Uilos or Simbelmynë with meaning Evermind (or Everwhite). I am not sure what kind of flower was inspiration for JRRT, when he wrote about Simbelmynë, but the fact that one is white, (as well as daisy), bloomed at all seasons (as well as daisy), and in legend is tied with graves (as well as daisy)...
