Maine State Flower: White Pine Cone

Maine State Flower Coloring

One of the strangest state flowers is the White Pine Cone. The Pine Cone is not a flower or a seed either one. It does emit a sweet scent from its resin though. Pine trees are almost synonymous with Maine, so it's not a completely strange choice. 

I love the way they look and it was fun to draw this one. The Pine needles are Blue Green and the cones are Silvery White. 

It can take a few years before a Pine tree produces a Pine Cone. So don't pick them. Let them do their job of dispersing seeds into the landscape.
