The national flower of Syria is the Jasmine. Damascus, the capital of Syria, is famously known as the "City of Jasmine" due to the abundance and cultural significance of the flower there. Jasmine symbolizes love, beauty, and hospitality in Syrian culture, and its scent is highly prized.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, the Mock Orange serves as a beautiful local representation. Its sweet-smelling white flowers bloom profusely, making it a delightful addition to spring and early summer landscapes. This shrub is resilient and can withstand the varied weather conditions of the province, but is not part of Newfoundland's native fauna.
