The national flower of Guatemala is the white nun orchid (Lycaste skinneri) also known as the monja blanca in Spanish. The name "monja blanca" means "white nun" as the flower resembles a nun's habit. It grows in the highlands of Guatemala and is highly prized for its beauty and fragrance. The plant typically reaches a height of about 1-2 feet and produces large, fragrant flowers that can reach up to 8 inches in diameter. The orchid is a symbol of purity, beauty, and peace in Guatemala and is commonly found in art and literature. It was officially designated as the country's national flower in 1934. However, due to habitat loss and over-collection, the white nun orchid is considered to be an endangered species in its native range.
