Слайд 8The National Symbol of Wales
Wales has got two national symbols.

These are the daffodil and the leek.
They are both connected

The daffodil is also associated with St. David's Day, due to the fact that it breaks into blossom on that day. Interesting to note that one of the many Welsh names for a daffodil is "Cenhinen Bedr" which means "Peter's leek".
