What is the national flower of Sweden?

One website indicates that it’s Twinflower (Linnea Borealis).


Other website says it’s Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) which is also a national flower for Finland.

What is the national flower of Sweden?
Sweden doesn%26#039;t have one.





While lots of non-swedish websites say that the linnea borealis is the swedish national flower, I don%26#039;t find a single swedish reference that says so, and several that say it isn%26#039;t. It _is_ certainly the flower of the province of Småland.





The first link I put in the sources is someone asking (in swedish) the same question of the Uppsala University site about Carl von Linné (aka, Linnaeus) and they ought to know.


The second one is to sweden.se%26#039;s site about sweden (in english) and there is no mention of a national flower on it that I can see. I gave the link to the page about the national emblems we do have.
