Limbolia announces a new national flower, that being the Nelumbo Nucifera.
On the 11th of November 2024, the Republic of Limbolia announced it's national flower, that being the Nelumbo Nucifera. Officially it's called the Nelumbo Nucifera, but on day-to-day talk it's the Lotus. It was chosed due to Limbolia's official religion of Buddhism, and it is also very eye-catching. The decision to get a national flower has been in discussion since last year, but none was every chosen until the 11th of November.
The candidates for national flower have been the Wrightia Religiosa, and the Nelumbo Nucifera, they have both been pending for quite a while, ever since the Buddhist Democratic Party won the elections, since then plenty of events have happened, for example the Limbolian Revolution and the Limbolian Reformation. But now the Nelumbo Nucifera has finally been accepted as the national flower of Limbolia.
The reasons behind the sudden decision to accept the Lotus as the national flower is due to the Art Exhibition hosted by Samizdat, as Limbolia had no national flower, the Limbolian Council decided to accept the pending request to adopt the Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus).
