What is national flower peru?

The national flower of Peru is the cantuta flower (also known as Cantua buxifolia).

The cantuta flower is an Andean plant that can be found growing in the high-altitude regions of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. They typically have large, tubular-shaped blooms that range in color from white to pink, red, or purple.

In Peru, the cantuta flower holds great cultural significance and is often used in celebrations and religious ceremonies. The Incas also prized the flower, using it in their textiles and as an offering to their deities.

In 1986, the cantuta flower was officially designated as the national flower of Peru, recognizing its importance in Peruvian culture and its stunning beauty.
