🌸🌾🍀🍁 What Is The National Floral Emblem For Your Nation?🌷🌹🌺

Correction: oops! The national flower of Scotland is actually a thistle, rather than a bluebell... but a bluebell can still be considered as a floral symbol for Scotland. The red Tudor Rose applies as a national symbol to England, daffodils for Wales, and shamrock is an official symbol for Éire that people display a lot on St. Patrick's day.

Each of the four countries of the United Kingdom has a traditional floral emblem.

England - officially the Tudor rose or unofficially the red rose and English Oak.
Northern Ireland – the flax, orange lily, or shamrock
Scotland – the Scotch thistle, Scottish bluebell (harebell) or heather
Wales - the daffodil, leek or sessile oak

I always associate Scotland with bluebells though, (one of my favourite flowers in England too, as I loved picking and collecting blueish-lilac coloured bluebells, white-coloured bluebells, and soft pink-coloured bluebells on my way to school as a child. My mum would tell me not to pick the bluebells, but I couldn't resist collecting some on my way to school in Kent. I'd also see large fields full of bluebells when I lived in Hampshire for a while too.... I love bluebells.)

I wonder if the national flower of The Netherlands are tulips by any chance? (Because I always associate Amsterdam with colourful tulips!) I love the elegant long stems on tulips and find them uplifting and happy flowers, like daffodils makes me smile too.
