Flowers that may become national flowers
1, Peony: Peony has been a symbol of wealth since ancient times. Taking it as the national flower can show the present situation of our country's prosperity and people's well-being. Moreover, this kind of flower is also printed on the back of the one-dollar coin, which is enough to show our people's love for peony.
2. Plum Blossom: In the 1980s, there was a selection of the national flower in China, among which Plum Blossom won the most votes. Plum blossoms bloom in the dead of winter, which can highlight the indomitable national integrity.
