Exhibition of the Kim flowers in China
Both Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il have had flower species named after them in North Korea. They are called, unsurprisingly, Kimilsungia and Kimjongilia, and like their namesakes, are always described in glowing terms in the DPRK media. I’ve never heard of a Hitleria or Polpotia, but there you have it. Thus an exhibition of these flowers in China gets a mention by KCNA. Interestingly, 2012 is mentioned as the year the Korean people will “open the gate to a thriving socialist nation at any cost”. I wonder what that means.
