Every one of the 50 states have chosen an official state flower. A significant number of the state flowers are from different parts of the world and were selected due to their magnificence or significance, that the represent the natural flora of the state. A portion of the Latin names you see here might be unique in relation to those you may have seen before because of changes in plant classification; the current valid botanical name has been selected. Where more than one acknowledged regular name exists, the common name in the legislation has been recorded.
One state even lists a state flower that isn't a blossom by any stretch of the imagination. Maine chose the white pine cone and tassel as its official state flower. Botanically, these are not considered blossoms since gymnosperms don't have genuine flowers. The regenerative structures of pines are known as strobili. You could precisely express that Maine is the only state to have an official state strobilae. On the off chance that you thought Oklahoma was the correct answer, you are about right that. Mistletoe is a plant and isn't a flower. It is, in any case, a blossoming plant and bears genuine flowers, despite the fact that they are not conspicuous.
