🌸 The Orchid: Colombia’s National Flower / La Orquídea: Flor Nacional de Colombia

🇺🇸 English:
Colombia is home to more than 4,000 species of orchids, making it the country with the greatest orchid diversity in the world. Among them, the Cattleya trianae, also known as the "May Flower," was chosen as the national flower in 1936.

This orchid is admired for its delicate beauty and vibrant colors—soft pink petals with touches of yellow and purple that reflect the colors of the Colombian flag. Its elegance and resilience symbolize the richness of Colombia’s natural heritage.

Each orchid variety tells a story of adaptation and survival in Colombia’s diverse ecosystems, from the Andes mountains to tropical rainforests. This is why the orchid is not only a flower but a true symbol of Colombian identity, pride, and biodiversity.

🇨🇴 Español:
Colombia es hogar de más de 4.000 especies de orquídeas, lo que lo convierte en el país con mayor diversidad de orquídeas en el mundo. Entre ellas, la Cattleya trianae, también conocida como “Flor de Mayo”, fue declarada flor nacional en 1936.

Esta orquídea es admirada por su belleza delicada y colores vibrantes, pétalos rosados con toques de amarillo y púrpura que evocan los colores de la bandera de Colombia. Su elegancia y resistencia simbolizan la riqueza del patrimonio natural colombiano.

Cada variedad de orquídea cuenta una historia de adaptación y supervivencia en los diversos ecosistemas de Colombia, desde las montañas andinas hasta las selvas tropicales. Por eso la orquídea no es solo una flor, sino un verdadero símbolo de identidad, orgullo y biodiversidad colombiana.
