It's so hard to pick just one... I'm quite fond of hoa đào (peach blossoms) and hoa mai (ochna integerrima/Vietnamese Mickey Mouse plant).

Aaah, they look so pretty. *A* I'm sure the peach blossoms must smell beautifully as well...

It is quite pleasant to be meditating in company of the rhododendron, especially during the peaceful spring rains.

For a flower with such a difficult name, they're so pretty! It kind of reminds me of a wedding...

Those flowers are so pretty, Tibet!

I like roses! They're my national flower [and England's too]. My favorites are big red ones. I'm really proud of my sunflowers too. Totally not just because Russia is so jealous of them...

so you agree with Russia-san that sunflower is great. why don't give him one for v-day?

freedom_kiss February 13 2009, 02:54:15 UTC

... Why would I do something like that?

namib_mole February 13 2009, 03:31:13 UTC

Edelweiss is an emblem of particular import for my nation; for myself, it also carries sentimental value. The flower was adopted as the symbol of the Austro-Hungarian alpine troops under Emperor Franz Joseph I. In later years, a youth anti-Nazi organization dubbed itself the Edelweißpiraten, or "Edelweiss Pirates," which emerged around the time of the Anschluss and utilized my national symbol in a show of resistance as I ceased to exist as an independent nation for a time.

More recently, the city of Salzburg employed the Edelweiss as its symbol in its bid for the 2014 Olympic games. Incidentally, Russia was granted the honor; perhaps I shall try once again at a later date.

Ah, I can see why the flower is so precious... They look really different from other flowers; they look fluffy... like peaches.

Ah, if Austria-mun does not mine, can I PM you for a little help in my Austria-related research? >:;;
