Belize National Flower. Belize river and roaring creek converge at guanacaste national park cayo district belize pictured. We have many large trees such as our national tree the mahogany guanacaste and rain trees.
Of course we have equally cool national symbols to go along with it. The black orchid flower. The encyclia cochleatum or black orchid is our national flower.
Belize is full of fascinating cultures flora fauna and a history that is varied and colorful.
The black orchid encyclia cochleatum is the national flower of belize. While some might think that the floral emblem of belize might be something like a species of coral indigenous to the belize barrier reef there are two flaws with this thought. This orchid grows on trees in damp areas and flowers nearly all year round. They include a flower a tree a bird a large mammal and of course our flag and its coat of arms.
