Signification
An attractive plant.
Contexte culturel
The 'Nagelj' (Carnation) is the unofficial national flower. You will see it on almost every traditional balcony. In the mountains, picking 'wild' flowers is often restricted to protect the environment. Always admire 'lepe rože' from a distance. Flower shops (cvetličarne) are open even on Sunday mornings in many places, as flowers are essential for Sunday lunch visits. The 'Zlatorog' (Goldenhorn) legend involves a magical flower called 'Triglavska roža' that can bring life.

If you don't know what to say in a Slovenian home, just find a plant and say 'Lepa roža!' It works every time.
Gender Agreement
Always check if you are using 'lepa' (feminine) and not 'lep' (masculine). This is the most common beginner mistake.
