The national flower of the Philippines is the Jasmine, specifically the Sampaguita Jasmine. This fragrant white flower is cherished for its sweet scent and symbolizes purity, simplicity, humility, and strength. It is often used in leis and garlands.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, the Mock Orange serves as a beautiful local representation. Mock Orange shrubs are known for their profusion of highly fragrant white flowers in late spring to early summer, which often resemble orange blossoms. They are hardy and well-suited to the province's growing conditions, but are not a plant native to Newfoundland and Labrador.
