Plum and peony both might be selected as China's national flowers.
 
Chinanews, Chengdu, January 26 – According to Cheng Juyu from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, China might determine its national flowers this year, and they might be plum and peony. Cheng said this at the 10th China Plum Expo and the 3rd Chengdu Plum Festival.

 

“National flowers are also symbols of nations. Unlike national flags and national anthems1, usually they are selected by the people, and are not written in constitution. That's why most national flowers in the world are selected according to their folk customs and eventually approved by the government. Maotai is China's national liquor, and table tennis is its national sport, both of which are nothing but parts of the life of the people. Thus I think plum and peony both deserve the name of national flowers, ” said Cheng.
