The national flower of Gabon is a burning tree.
Introduction to the flame tree
Flame tree, a deciduous tree of Osmundaceae, also known as bract tree, is native to Africa. Its flowering period is between winter and spring, and the flower cup is huge, about 10- 12 cm long. If you look closely, there are golden patterns on the edge of the crimson petals, which is beautiful. This tree is about 10 meter high and has a large crown. It is often used as shade trees or street trees, and is also suitable for planting in parks, communities and tourist areas.
The flower language of the flame tree: auspicious and beautiful fire.
The flower language of the flame tree, as its name implies, is an auspicious and beautiful fire. Gabon's choice of such a passionate flame tree as the national flower fully reflects the country's deep hope for life. Gabon has been making unremitting efforts to develop itself since it became independent from French rule on August 1960. I sincerely wish the auspicious and beautiful flame of the flame tree can burn all over Gabon!
