Reply:Orchid Guaria Morada
According to Wikipedia: http://www.grupomawamba.com/costarica/un...
"National Flower Costa Rica did not have a National flower until 1937, when for several International gardens one was required and a National Contest to elect one had to be established. To be elected, the flower should be endemic of America, grow easily in all the country and should be present in the different traditions and ways of life of Costa Rica. The orchid Guaria Morada (Cattleya skinneri) won, and elected as National Flower, being the most cultivated orchid in all Costa Rica."
