Which country is called the "Land of Lilies"?
Explanation and memory cue
Canada is widely known as the "Land of Lilies" due to the abundance of wild lilies, particularly the Western Red Lily, that grow naturally across its landscapes. The lily also holds cultural and historical significance in Canada, especially through the fleur-de-lis symbol, which appears on the flag of Quebec and reflects the French colonial heritage of parts of Canada. The United Kingdom is not known by this nickname, and the fleur-de-lis is more strongly associated with France than the UK.
