There’s no doubt that every country in Europe is famous for something – they have their own national symbols like flags, dishes, alcoholic beverages, animals, sports etc. But have you ever thought about the national flowers of European countries?

Every country on the Old Continent has its own floral emblem that represents their unique identity. Some of these symbols are related to historical, cultural and religious events dating back centuries and even millennia ago. Others are not officially declared as such by their respective governments but are well known to have a special place in the hearts of their people.

I love the Namibian and Angolan welwitschias.

The very big ones, like the one in the photo, are between 2000-3000 years old.

They aren't pretty but they are amazing plants which live in the world's harshest conditions. They only have two leaves which gradually unfurl and become wind-torn over hundreds of years.
