★Differences of 4 nations of Britain★

I had known a lot of the differences of 4 nations of Britain today.
Firstly, I can indentify the NATIONAL FLAGS of the four nations.
This is the national flag of England, named St. George’s Cross with a red cross on a white background.


This is the national flag of Wales, named Dragon of Cadwallader with a Welsh dragon on the flag.


This is the national flag of Scotland, named St. Andrew Cross with a diagonal white cross on a blue background.


And this is the national flag of Northern Ireland, named St Patrick's Cross with a diagonal red cross on a white background.


Then, I also known that Shamrock is the NATIONAL EMBLEM of Ireland, the Thistle belongs to Scotland, the Leek and Daffodil are the national emblems of Wales, and the Rose is belongs to both England and Ireland.I've pasted some pictures about them. Here we go ~


Shamrock, this is the National Emblem of Ireland.
I've heard something interesting about this plant, if people can find it with four leaves (named 'cover'), then, they will have a good luck.



Thistle,this is the National Emblem of Scotland.



Leek and Daffodil both are the National Emblem of Wales.



Daffodil



Rose,this is the National Emblem both of England and Ireland.

 

Lastly, the SAINT'S DAY of the England is 23rd April, Wales is 1st March, Scotland is 30th Novem and Ireland is 17th March. The PATRON SAINT of England is St. George, Wales is St. David, Scotland is St. Andrew, Republic of Ireland is St. Patrick. And the COMMON NAMES of England is Smith, Wales is Davis, Evans, Jones, Lloyd, Scotland is Mac or Mc, Ireland is Mac ore Mc also.

  1. You needed to write more, there are only a few sentences here. The section on saint's days and dates is also not clear.The images are nice but it isn't clear which emblem goes with which country.
