The royal poinciana, also known as the flame tree, is native to Madagascar but is now found in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The plant has a strong connection to Christianity. Legend has it that the crown of thorns, placed on Jesus' head before his crucifixion, was made from the branches of a poinciana tree. As a result, the tree is considered a symbol of Christ's suffering and is associated with the Easter season. The vibrant red-orange colour of its flowers is also said to represent the flames of the Holy Spirit.

The Easter Lily symbolizes Easter and is closely associated with the Vatican City. The pure white flowers are a symbol of the resurrection of Christ and his purity. In the Vatican, these flowers typically decorate the altar on Easter Sunday, adding to the solemnity of the occasion. Additionally, the shape of the Easter Lily is thought to resemble a trumpet, which is significant because in biblical times, trumpets were used to announce important events and declarations. Overall, the Easter Lily has come to represent the hope and renewal that Easter brings and is a fitting symbol for one of the holiest days in the Christian calendar.

The magnolia is a flowering plant native to Asia and the Americas, and it has been cultivated for centuries for its beauty and fragrance. The magnolia tree has a symbolic significance in Christianity. Magnolia flowers have been used in religious ceremonies and represent purity, endurance, and kindness because they maintain their beauty and fragrance even after death. They are also said to symbolize the selfless sacrifice that Jesus Christ made through his crucifixion, with their flowers adorned with stamen resembling thorns.

The eucalyptus tree is an iconic symbol of Australia and plays a significant role in its ecosystem. These majestic trees provide a habitat for wildlife, act as windbreaks, and are a key source of timber and pulp for the country's forestry industry. Interestingly, eucalyptus trees have also been associated with Christianity. Parallels have been drawn between the shedding of the tree's bark and the process of spiritual renewal, a powerful symbol of the cycle of growth, death, and rebirth found in nature and in the Christian faith.
