THE NATIONAL FLOWER OF BELIZE


>> Back to NATIONAL SYMBOLS






A wildly luscious flower represents one of the most intriguing Central American Countries, the country of Belize. Belize is a tropical country full of rich experiences. The National Flower of Belize embodies the spirit of Freedom and Seduction, the Black Orchid is a stunning blossom perfectly suited to represent Belize.
The Black Orchid grows year round in the tropical moisture of Belize. It features a large showy petal with smaller ornamental petals surrounding it. The large petal of the black orchid has a brown and purple color growing darker toward the center pf the blossom. The dark colors are shot through with veins of a brighter purple creating a richly decadent look.


Black Orchid
The Black Orchid grows as a single blossom on a stem roughly six inches long. the yellow-green stem and leaves of the black orchid set off the bold color of the flower nicely. When an isolated flower, a single stalk can grow multiple stems of orchids creating a full spectrum of the dark flowers framed against lighter foliage. the black orchid is ornate and intriguing to the point that it became the stuff of legends over centuries. frequently it is confused with other mythical orchids that are a true black, not the brown and purple of Belize's national flower.

Deep brown and purple tomes create the dark petals of the black orchid. Known as a rare and exceedingly beautiful flower, the black orchid can't help but intrigue those who look upon her. Belize has much of the same persona. This small tropical country is rich in natural resources both in land and sea. Its exotic beauty draws in travelers from around the glob, much like the draw of the black orchid.
