Scotland - thistle and rampant lion. Wales - leek, daffodil and dragon. England - red rose, three lions en passant.
Because they are representing England, not the United Kingdom. The Union Flag combines the three flags of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The red cross is St George's Cross, which is the English flag) as opposed to the British flag which combined (hence the word UNION) England, Wales and Scotland. However, it is incorrect to refer to it as a "Union Jack" It should be refered to as a "Union Flag" - it is only called a "Union Jack" when the flag is hung from a JACK pole (on naval ships). == == Actually, the Union flag does include Northern Ireland's St. Patrick's cross, the red saltire, as well as St. Andrew's white saltire, and St. George's red cross. Only Wales is not represented. The political union of Scotland and England happened in 1707. This is why Scotland plays under the flag of St. Andrew and the Welsh under the Dragon. Whereas when playing for Great Britain (as with the Olympics) they play under the Union Flag.
In the English Coat of Arms it signifies the Union of England and Scotland
There is no such thing as a dragon, but like most countries, Ireland does have dragon stories.
No. He converted the pagans of Ireland to Christianity. Also, there is no such thing as a dragon.
Wales is not a kingdom. The flag of the United Kingdom includes crosses representing England, Scotland, and Ireland, all of which were kingdoms in their own right prior to being United under the British crown.Comment:Incorrect answer. Wales was a kingdom until the assasination of the Welsh king, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, in 1282.

The Flag of St David is not represented on the Union Flag as the "Union" is that of, first, England and Scotland and later on, England, Scotland and Ireland. When the flag was devised, it was a union between England and Scotland and the flag incorporated the flags of St George of England and St Andrew of Scotland. Later, the flag of St Patrick was added on behalf of Ireland. Wales was not put on as it had already been integrated into the constitutional body of England and Wales. Thus, they both came under the flag of England, in effect. It did and still does, however, have its own unique flag to England which is one of the oldest national flags in the world. It was only in the last century or so that Wales became a legally defined geographical body. The Union Flag is composed from the English, Scottish, and Northern Ireland. Wales being a principality was left out. There are occasional campaigns to incorporate Wale's red dragon into the design. A move I approve of, as at the moment, I find an annoying number of Union Flags are being flown upside down! Maybe, if the Welsh dragon is not approved, could we not have a "this way up" symbol in the design?
There is no Dragon on the England Flag Theres one on the Welsh flag though...
England is a country in the United Kingdom that borders Wales and Scotland. A few things that represent England are the national flag, the Tudor rose, the Royal Arms of England and the Royal Banner of England.
