National flowers of different countries would make a magnificent garden design providing they gr0w in your zone. So would state flowers. I do hope that you have your state flower in your garden. National flowers are representation symbols of the respective countries.
Many nations have chosen flowers as national symbols. Some countries automatically give a picture of a flower which is mostly found in or other wise strongly associated with the country. This flower can be automatically treated as the national flower of that country.
Here is a list of some of the national flowers.
Some nations have adopted a particular flower as the national flower
owing to their history and tradition while some nations have chosen their national flowers according to conscious thought.
For whatever the reason, flowers chosen as the national flowers have become a national logo.
