英国人以为玫瑰是爱情、和平、友谊、勇气和献身精神的化身。
?
在英国及欧美很多国家,都把攻瑰(月季)定为国花,以表示亲爱,又因茎上有刺,表示严厉。基督教中,相传耶稣被出卖后,被钉在十字架上,鲜血滴在土壤中,十字架下便生长出玫瑰花。
???
红玫瑰象征了爱情,这可能是世界通用的花语。相传爱神为了救她的情人,跑得太匆忙,玫瑰的刺划破了她的手脚,鲜血染红了玫瑰花,红玫瑰也因此成了爱情的信物。
加拿大的国花是糖槭树花(即糖枫)(sugar
maple)
??
加拿大有“枫树之国”的称号。在国旗中央,绘着巨大的红艳艳的枫叶。日常生活里枫叶图案随处可见。人们以象征火红、热烈、赤诚的枫叶为骄傲。糖枫是一种高大落叶乔木。高达40米,径40~100cm,树龄可达500年。树干中含大量淀粉,冬天成为蔗糖。天暖蔗糖变成香甜的树液。如在树上钻孔,树液便源源流出。树汁熬制成的糖叫枫糖或槭糖。
