-Червоний вертикальний хрест – хрест Святого Джорджа, покровителя Англії. Червона троянда – національна емблема Англії. The national flower of England is the rose. The flower has been adopted as England’s emblem since the time of the Wars of the Roses – civil wars [1455-1485] between the royal house of Lancaster [whose emblem was a red rose] and the royal house of York [whose emblem was a white rose].

The national flower of Scotland is the thistle, a prickly-leaved purple flower which was first used in the 15th century as a symbol of defence. The Scottish Bluebell is also seen as the flower of Scotland.
-На Уельському прапорі- червоний дракон. Святий Давид – покровитель уельсців. Їхня національна емблема – нарцис.The national flower of Wales is the daffodil, which is traditionally worn on St. David’s Day. The vegetable called leek is also considered to be a traditional emblem of Wales. There are many explanations of how the leek came to be adopted as the national emblem of Wales. One is that St David advised the Welsh, on the eve of battle with the Saxons, to wear leeks in their caps to distinguish friend from foe. As Shakespeare records in Henry V, the Welsh archers wore leeks at the battle of Agincourt in 1415.
-Святий Патрик –покровитель Північної Ірландії. Червоний діагональний хрест на білому фоні –це прапор Північної Ірландії. Національна емблема Північної Ірландії – трилисник.The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock, a three-leaved plant similar to clover. An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.
