One Love, an anthem calling for “true respect for all”—it’s no surprise that Jamaica’s national flower comes from the lignum tree, or “tree of life.”
The Jamaican National flower, the Lignum.
The lavender-blue flower blooms during spring and early summer.
The wood from the lignum tree has medicinal properties and is often carved into art for both Jamaicans and tourists.
But it is the lavender-blue bloom from the life-giving tree that truly represents the One Love of Jamaica.
