Man loves flowers. It is not because their beauty simply gives sentiment to man. Man adds love, peace and wish to beauty of flowers. It is man’s aspiration to lead a happy life sharing love and trust in a peaceful world.
Tens of thousands of flowers have been in and out of bloom at every time of history. In history there was a time when such flowers, proud of peculiar beauty, as tulip or rose monopolized popularity.
There are many beautiful flowers in the world. However, no flowers but Kimilsungia and Kimjongilia have enjoyed love as a king of flowers for decades.
In February 1989, one year after Kimjongilia was born, when the world festival of political songs held in Germany, a large electric board screened the beautiful flower and stormy applause aroused from the audience.
Kimjongilia gripped at one time the people’s heart and fully demonstrated its might as the most celebrated flower in the world gardening exhibition and flower shows through years.
Kimjongilia was awarded a special prize and gold medal in the 12th International flower show held in the (then) Czechoslovakia in May 1991 and highest prizes in the 99 World Gardening Exhibition held in Kunming, China in 1991 and in the begonia show held in California, US in 2004, in the 2012 Netherlands Benro World Gardening Exhibition held in 2012, in the Mongolia International Flower Show held in 2014 and so on.
People’s attraction for Kimjongilia is not because of its unusual beauty.
Progressive people see the future where the ideal they have yearned through protracted history will be realized.
This is a big viability and influence of Kimjongilia.
