United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has four historic
parts: England with its capital in London, Scotland with its capital in
Edinburgh, Wales with its capital in Cardiff and Northern Ireland with
its capital in Belfast.The floral symbol of England is the RED ROSE.
The Scottish symbol is a wild plant called the THISTLE. At one point, the Scandinavians planned to attack a Scottish village.But
the thorns of the thistle hurt their bare feet. Their howls of pain
pierced the silence and the Scots awoke to fight the enemy.
The Welsh symbol is a vegetable called the LEEK (or, on occasion, the flower, the daffodil).Daffodils which burst into flames by the 1st of March celebrate the revered Welsh saint.
<span>The Irish symbol is another wild plant called the SHAMROCK.</span><span> This
plant helped St Patrick explain to the people of his country what the
Holy Trinity is. The historic colours of the parts are: England, WHITE,
Scotland, BLUE, Wales, RED, Northern Ireland, GREEN. Sport teams of the
nations wear these colours.</span>
