National symbols of Venezuela
The national symbols of Venezuela are the flag, the coat of arms, and the national anthem.〔(Patriotic Symbols ) ''Venezuelan Embassy in the United States'' Accessed 22 August 2006.〕 Since Venezuela's diversity of flora and fauna is remarkable, the government also officially declared these national symbols:〔(National Symbols ) ''Venezuelan Embassy in the United States'' Accessed 22 August 2006.〕
*The national flower is the orchid ''Cattleya mossiae'', known as ''flor de Mayo'' ("May flower"). It was first discovered in the northern land in 1849 and was given the status of national flower on 23 May 1951.
*The national tree is the ''araguaney'' ''(Tabebuia chrysantha)''. Called ''aravanei'' by the Caribes, it can be found mostly in regions with temperate weather. It can reach a height between 6 and 12 m. The araguaney flourishes within the period following a rainy season, mostly in the first months of the year. Rómulo Gallegos referred to these months as "''La primavera de oro de los araguaneyes''" ("the golden spring of the araguaneyes"). It was declared the national tree on 29 May 1945.
*The national bird is the Venezuelan troupial (''Icterus icterus''). Fully coloured with yellow-orange tones except in the head and the wings, which are black with a few tones in white; also has a blue spot surrounding the eyes. It can be found in woods, the ''llanos'', at the shores of jungles, and in northern and southern Orinoco. The bird is widely appreciated due to its singing; it was declared the national bird on 23 May 1958.
