Which plant is the symbol of Wales?

Think about national symbols and how a country identifies itself through a familiar plant. The daffodil is widely recognized as Wales’ national flower and is celebrated on St David’s Day, often worn or displayed to represent Welsh identity. It’s become a strong, publicly used symbol in Welsh culture, signage, and events, making it the plant most closely associated with Wales. By contrast, the rose is linked with England, the shamrock with Ireland, and the thistle with Scotland, so they don’t fit Wales.
