What is the national flower of Italy? Why was it chosen?
Hi,


I do not think there is a national flower for Italy.


Lily is the flower for Florence as it was in the coat of arms of the Medici Family.
Reply:Certain European countries do not have a national flower. Italy is one of them.





Scroll down to the end of the national flowers list, it states it there.
