Flowers are so beautiful and some of them help us
with illness. The golden wattle is a beautiful yellow flower produced in
Australia, and it is one of Australia’s national floral emblems. It produces not
only gum for the glues and honey with its blossom but also has antiseptic
properties.
In Australia, there is the National Wattle Day,
which is celebrated on the 1st of September.
Usually, people celebrate wearing the blossom or
planting the flower.
This day was introduced by the Wattle Day League, a
club founded by Archibald Campbell, on 1913.
It became one emblem of Australia on 1912, by the
Prime Minister, Andrew Fisher. He suggested that the flower should be included
as a decoration surrounding the Commonwealth Coat of Arms.
Is interesting
how a flower became so important.
