National Flowers serve as national symbols rooted in cultural, historical, or religious traditions, sometimes dating back to a country's earliest days, with some adopted and others not, while others are chosen to promote environmental awareness. Some countries recognize a single National Flowers, while others embrace multiple. The whole world is known to practice this tradition of choosing their National Flower(s).
