Anyone from Northern Ireland?

Hi

My dad was from NI, unfortunately passed away. Is there a flower or anything you could suggest I could incorporate so a bit of him could be there. I have no contact with his family so hope someone can help.

    Hi Lily,

    Im from Belfast, just saw your post and thought id give you my thoughts for what there worth!

    The 'official' flower for Northern Ireland is the Shamrock. However what I would say to you is that to be totally honest, as someone who was born here and lived here all my life it has no meaning to me at all. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw one whether real or as a symbol, I think its mainly something that Americans etc would associate with Ireland. I'm only saying this as how I feel, and if you like it then go for it as its your day, and its lovely you want to remember your dad on the day, I'm just thinking there may be a more personal way to do this? Also its not the most attractive 'flower' lol

    Do you know roughly where he is from? x
