National symbols of Hungary

[2] Hungary is home to some 2,200 flowering plant species and, because of its topography and transitional climate, many of them are not normally found at this latitude.

The saline Hortobágy region on the Eastern Plain has many plants normally found on the seashore, and the Nyírség area is famous for meadow flowers.

[2] Most of the trees in the nation's forests are deciduous beech, oak, and birch, and a small percentage are fir.

[2] Historically, Hungary was the second largest supplier of paprika to the United States,[3] despite the spice not being a product of a Hungarian native plant.

[4] The most well-known specialities of Hungarian cuisine such as goulash soup, the different varieties of stew and paprikás are red with paprika.
