Uma Flor De Verde Pinho (English translation: "A Green-Pine Flower") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, performed in Portuguese by Carlos do Carmo.
The song is a ballad, with do Carmo comparing his love for his country with the love he would feel for an attractive woman. He goes as far as to liken himself to Pedro I, famous in Portuguese history for his status as a lover.
The song was performed fifteenth on the night (following Austria's Waterloo & Robinson with My Little World and preceding Monaco's Mary Christy with Toi, La Musique Et Moi). At the close of voting, it had received 24 points, placing 12th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1977 Contest by Os Amigos with Portugal No Coração.
