The Flower-de-luce of France. The idea of a national flower carries a certain fascination with it. Perhaps that is why people attribute national flowers to countries that have none. It is generally supposed that the lily is the national flower of France.

As a matter of fact, France has no national flower, and if it did possess one it is much more likely to be the daisy than the lily, for this simple flower is a universal favorite with the French.
