What is the national flower of Poland?

My boyfriend is half Polish and thinks it is the weeping willow, yet other sources say that it is the cornflower and/or the poppy. Who is right?

What is the national flower of Poland?
There is no recognised national flower of Poland as such but after the battle at Monte Cassino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_M... in World War II where the Polish troops took Monte Cassino after heavy losses. The only flower that was standing was the Cornflower or the Corn poppy, which in Latin is called - Papaver rhoeas (in Polish - mak).



Therefore in conclusion, and I am sorry to other posters, there is no official flower of Poland but there is an adopted one to represent the souls of the dead of Monte Cassino.
Reply:Corn Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas) or Red Poppy, a flower with vivid red four petals, most commonly with a black spot at their base. is the national flower of Poland. It is a variable annual plant in the northern hemisphere and generally flowers in late spring. During and after World War I, fields that had been disturbed by battle bloomed with Corn Poppies, and the flower has become a symbol of that war.
Reply:Corn Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas) or Red Poppy, also may be Pine tree because of the colour all year round.
