Thank You for visiting Chilean National Flower.
The stunning flower of the lapageria resembles an exotic tropical orchid, hand carved from wax. Surprisingly, the lapageria is not a tropical plant, it is native to the cool montanious region of southern Chile ( Valdivia ), where it is known by its Araucanian Indian name, 'El Copihue'.
