Cyprus - this island was believed to belong to the goddess Aphrodite whose symbols were roses emerging from ocean foam.
The Czech Republic - since the country is famous for beer production, the arrangement was placed inside a beer glass. The tricolour motif represents the colours from the flag.
Estonia - as it is largely a forested, marshy, boggy country, hence the grass decor and the adder lurching in the foreground.
Lithuania - has usually been associated with amber, a stone most dominant in the flower arrangement.
Latvia - the boat-shaped basket forming the base along with the net design emphasise the prevailing aspect of the country's economy - fishery.
Malta - Maltese cross made out of dyed flax.
Poland - the bicolour national flag was portrayed using red poppies and white anemones.
Slovakia - the national emblem was bunched up from dried flowers.
Slovenia - the bouquet was done from carnations bearing the country's flag colours.
Hungary - as many associate this country with exquisite, but hot cuisine, the choice of hot peppers seems fully justified.
