I used to see lots of Indian Paintbrush all the time in Texas growing in the middle of the Bluebonnet fields where its Red color made the Blue fields look even more Blue. They bloom from April to June. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">The Indian Paintbrush is a semi-parasitic plant; that attaches to the tubes of host plants by their roots. Indian Paintbrushes suck the nutrients and water from the host plants. For this reason and the fact that they are not even that common in Wyoming, many people did not want Indian Paintbrush as the State Flower, but by vote it was selected anyway. They are very Red so color them accordingly. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Wisconsin uses the Wood Violet as their State Flower. As their name suggests, they are mostly Violet in color, from light to dark, and all the shades in between. But there are Blue and White and Yellow, and Pink Violets too. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Violet is a small flower that grows along the ground, so is used as a ground cover.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Wood Violets have a really nice scent, and the leaves are very tasty and can be used in salads, candies, and jellies.

They grow on a woody shrub and have a lovely scent. The shrub usually grows up to 15 feet but can actually grow up to 40 feet high and be pruned to look like a tree. They attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds. They are native to Asia and North America both. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They grow all over West Virginia so it's easy to see why they were chosen as the State Flower there. Rhododendrons can be White, but usually they are Pink, or Salmon Red, or Purple. They bloom in May or June. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The state of Washington chose Rhododendron as their State Flower.

(sometimes called the California Rhododendron!) </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">They grow on a woody evergreen shrub and are available in shades of Purple, from dark Purple to light Purple and also sometimes White. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The shrub is actually called the King of Shrubs. On some of the flowers the colors White and light Purple and dark Purple coexist on the same flower. They are native to Asia, and North America both. They bloom in May or June and have a lovely scent.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Virginia chose the magnificent American Dogwood as their State Flower. It grows on a tree that can reach as tall as 40 feet and has a very distinctive bark that resembles crocodile skin. It used to be boiled to fix mange in dogs which is how it got its name. The wood is used to make furniture too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">But back to the flower, Dogwood flowers are White, Pink or Red and look amazing when the trees bloom in late April or May. Thomas Jefferson grew Dogwood trees at his Monticello estate. In Autumn, Dogwood leaves turn colors of Red and Orange giving another gift to the senses. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Vermont chose Red Clover as its State Flower, quite an unusual choice! But Farmers grow Clover as food for cows and other animals. It is even called "cow grass." Honeybees gather nectar from the flowers for delicious honey. Some people use it to make tea. It also has many uses in Herbal medicine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Red Clover originated in Europe and was brought to the New World by the settlers. Despite its name, it's not usually Red, but Purple or Lavender in color, although it does come in a deep beautiful Red, so go ahead and color it Red if you want. It's a small flower, usually only an inch or so across. It blooms in the Spring, usually April and May. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Utah has an unusual State Flower, the Sego Lily. It is quite beautiful and unlike many other Lilies is edible. In fact during the period covering 1840-1850 there was a famine in Utah, and many families relied on the bulb of the Sego Lily for food. So when the legislature of Utah asked their school children to vote on a State Flower, the Sego Lily won by a landslide. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a small plant that grows along the ground, and only reaches 6-8 inches tall, and is usually White, but can be Lavender. It has Yellow stamens and the center coming up from the bulb may be Yellow too, but it is sometimes a darker color like Purple. It blooms from May to July.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

They are a type of Lupine, but the particular lupine that they are grows mostly only in Texas. The flowers sort of resemble the bonnets that pioneer women wore which is where they got their name. They bloom in the Spring, usually April to May, but can start in March if the weather is warmer that year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">In South Texas all the way up to the Dallas area, they blanket the fields turning them into beautiful Blue landscapes. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">They often have Indian Paintbrush mixed in so the fields look Blue with dots of Red.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Texans like to take photos of themselves in front of those fields. They also grow along the highways, and usually the Texas Department of Public Safety issues a warning in the Spring to motorists that implores them to be careful when stopping on highways to take photos. It's actually better to go off the highways and onto the back roads to see the fields of Blue anyway. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">My family is from Texas and when I was growing up there, it was an annual trip to go to the Hill Country North of San Antonio to see the Bluebonnets. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">As their name implies, they are Blue, with a tiny bit of White at the top of the plant which later turns Blue too, as the season wears on. Some of them smell very sweet, but many of them don't seem to have a scent at all, just their beauty. I love Bluebonnets, can you tell?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Tennessee has one of the most beautiful State Flowers in my opinion, the Iris. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Tennessee is also one of the states that chose a separate Wildflower, in their case, the Passion Flower but the official State Flower is the Iris. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">The Iris is a very Orchid looking flower, but it is its own species. The Iris has 6 petals, 3 that are upright, and 3 that fall away from the center, called "falls." </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Irises bloom in the Spring, and are available in many colors, from White, to Yellow, to Blue, to Pink, Red, and shades of Purple. In Tennessee you most often see them in shades of Purple. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">They are a very popular flower worldwide and are native to Europe. Besides their exquisite beauty, they have a lovely scent. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Pasque Flower is the State Flower of South Dakota. The plant only grows on Southward facing slopes in the wild, and is common throughout northwestern U.S. up to Northern Alaska. The Pasque Flower, like all tundra plants, grows low to the ground to keep out of the cold. It is also covered in fine silky hairs, which help insulate it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a Lavender color mostly, but can range from almost White, to a quite dark Lavender, almost Purple. According to English legend, the Pasque Flower springs from the blood of Vikings. I just love that, even if it's not really true. It blooms in the Spring, around Easter time, which is where it got its name.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Yellow Jessamine (which some people shorten to Jasmine, but that's not really correct) is the State Flower of South Carolina. I have only been to Charleston, South Carolina once, but fell in love with it. The people, the historic mansions, the welcoming spirit, the food, everything but the humidity. Charleston is absolutely beautiful and the people there are some of the friendliest I've ever met. It's just a lovely city. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From December through March when it blooms, you can smell the soft fragrance of the Yellow Jessamine everywhere, as it is used extensively as a ground cover and on trellises in all the gardens. As its name suggests, color it Yellow, a bright Sunlight Yellow. Too bad you can't smell its fragrance. It's lovely and used in many perfumes. </span><br />

It can be light Purple, or dark Purple, or any shade in between. Violets also come in Cream, White, Yellow and Blue too. (Go figure) </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Violets have a wonderful scent and are used in many perfumes. They are ancient flowers as the Greeks and Romans both made wine from Violets and rhapsodized about them. They are small and bloom in the Spring for several months.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Mountain Laurel is the State Flower of Pennsylvania (as well as Connecticut.) It's a beautiful little flower that grows on a shrub which will grow from 5 to 8 feet tall. It was named when Europeans encountered it and thought it resembled the Bay Laurel tree that grows in Europe. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Mountain Laurel is easy to grow and doesn't require much sun either, and will even grow in full shade but a few hours of filtered sun light is ideal. The blossoms are either White or any of several shades of light Pink. They bloom from late Spring to mid Summer. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a friend who says that they got it wrong and should have named the Rhododendron as Oregon's State Flower. But they didn't, as the Oregon Grape blossom is the State Flower of Oregon. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The flowers are a deep Yellow and bloom in the early Summer. After they fall off in late Summer, their plant grows dark Purple berries, that are a type of Grape. It is bitter but with added sugar can be used to make jams and jelly. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The leaves and root of the plant are used by Herbalists as an anti-inflammatory medication. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Oklahoma is one of several states who chose the Rose as their State Flower. It is the favorite flower worldwide and is used in the most bouquets. Who remembers getting a dozen Red Roses or White Roses when you were dating? Or for Valentine's Day? I think most of my friends received them at one time or another. (Yes I did too.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They have one of the nicest scents in Nature, and there is even a perfume consisting entirely of the Rose fragrance, Joy. They grow in many colors and have been hybridized around the world, so there are countless varieties. White, Yellow, Pink, Red, and Purple are the most common colors of Roses, but you can go wild when you color them. They even come in Pink and White together and Yellow and Red together. I love Roses! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Why do I want to sing "A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation?" Those are the only words I know, but I remember my Mom singing it... anyway, I love Carnations, always have, always will. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Besides being used for many boutonnieres over the years, Carnations are the flowers Ohio chose as their State Flower. Specifically, the Red or Scarlet Carnation. Carnations also come in White, Pink, and Purple besides Red, but Ohio uses the Red one. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They have a lovely fragrance and last a very long time, so are popular in bouquets. The Greek botanist Theopharastus named them Dianthus (botanical name) from two Greek Words - "dios", referring to the god Zeus, and "anthos", meaning flower. Carnations are thus known as the "The Flowers of God." They bloom from May through July. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Prairie Rose is the State Flower of North Dakota. (and Iowa too) Like all Roses, they have thorns on the stems so be careful if you pick them. They have a beautiful fragrance and come in shades of Pink with Yellow stamens in the center. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">They grow as trailing vines and usually in meadows or the edge of forests in their natural state. But of course gardeners use them too and they have to be staked or fall under their own weight. They bloom in June and July. They have been used in medicine since the dawn of time. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">North Carolina chose the Dogwood as its State Flower. Virginia also uses it as their State Flower and 2 states use the Dogwood Tree as their State Tree. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dogwood flowers can be White, shades of Pink, or Reddish. They have a very nice scent and the fragrance perfumes the air in the Spring. In the Autumn the leaves of the trees put on another display as they turn Red and Orange. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The bark of the Dogwood tree is as distinctive as the flower and is used in furniture and as a great wood for fires. <br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Rose is the most popular flower worldwide, and New York chose it as their State Flower. The plants they grow on can be shrubs, trees, or vines. The flowers have an amazing scent and are used in many perfumes. They actually have a little fruit called Rose Hips, that is used in supplements, as it has a very high quality of Vitamin C. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are over 100 different types, as they have been cross bred for thousands of years. The first ones were probably cultivated in China and Persia, as far back as 500 B.C. In fact now scientists say they are probably 35 million years old as a species (!) Roses are available in many colors, so you can go wild coloring them. They bloom all year in cycles of 6-8 weeks, another reason why gardeners love them! </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">When you drive across New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Texas and Arizona, you see lots of Yucca. It actually grows up in the Midwest too, but it's a plant that loves hot and dry places. Its flower is White or Cream and the leaves are Green. But when the flowers dry up they turn Brown and hard. At that point they make a lovely dried flower decoration and I used to keep them around my house in vases.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
The bell-shaped blooms emit a delicate, sweet fragrance which lures the Yucca’s sole pollinator, the Yucca moth. The relationship between New Mexico’s State Flower and the Yucca moth is a highly unusual and symbiotic one. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Each species of Yucca plant is pollinated by a different species of Yucca moth uniquely suited to collect pollen from its Yucca plant. The moths roll the pollen into a ball and drop it into the stigma of a different Yucca plant of the same species. At the same time, the moth lays an egg in the flower. This happens in the early Summer, June or July when the flowers are in bloom. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Violet is the State Flower of 4 states so that might speak to how popular it is. (I am counting the Wisconsin State Flower, the Wood Violet as one of the 4.) As their name suggests they are often Purple or Lavender but do come in Blue,White, Pink, Red, and Yellow plus combinations of colors, such as Blue and Yellow or dark and light Purple both on one flower, so go ahead and have fun turning them into wild color combos. They are ancient flowers as the Greeks and Romans both used them in medicine and food, and wine! Violets have a lovely scent too! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Purple Lilac is one of my favorite flowers and is the State Flower of New Hampshire. True to its name, it comes in shades of Lavender to deeper Purple and is extremely fragrant. (Lilacs do come in 7 colors, but the State Flower is Purple Lilac.) </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The scent is very sweet and intoxicating and one of the strongest fragrances in Nature which makes it a favorite of many people, plus it looks beautiful hanging on its shrubs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Lilac is actually a type of Syringa, which you may know is the State Flower of Idaho, so it may look familiar, but be sure you color this one Purple! Lilac blooms in late May typically for a couple of weeks, but some types bloom in June. They can survive extreme cold and actually do better in climates that have a severe Winter. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Nevada is a very dry state, in fact it looks mostly like a desert from the air and when driving across it. In the Northern part there are pine trees and a mountain range sits along the Western edge of it, but most of the state is just desert with a city full of bright neon lights and glitzy hotels sitting there surrounded by sand. (Las Vegas) So it's no wonder that Nevada chose the Sagebrush as its State Flower. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sage is actually an herb that is wonderful in cooking and used in medicine too and it has a fantastic scent so it works great as a State Flower, even if it's a little difficult to draw and color. The type of Sagebrush that grows in Nevada is Silvery Gray with Yellow flowers when it blooms which is in late Summer and Autumn. There is of course beautiful Purple sage too, so you can color it Purple if you would rather. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Nebraska State Flower is the Goldenrod. Goldenrod is also the State Flower of Kentucky. Like its name suggests it is a Golden Yellow color. It blooms from July to October and has been said to be a good symbol for the pioneers who settled Nebraska. It is very hardy like they had to be since the Winters in Nebraska can be severe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fun facts: Goldenrod contains a substance that produces rubber, and Thomas Edison grew very tall Goldenrod and used it to make rubber! Henry Ford used it to make the tires for his Model T car too! </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Also, Goldenrod is not typically allergy producing even though it gets blamed for it. It's not ragweed which is allergenic, but it often grows in proximity so it gets lumped in as a culprit. The young leaves are edible. North Americans used it in Herbal remedies for toothaches.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Bitterroot herb produces the Bitterroot flower which is the State Flower of Montana. You might have heard of Bitterroot Valley which is a spectacular and famous valley in Montana. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Lewis and Clark were introduced to Bitterroot on their expedition to Montana and brought it back with them. Indians had been using it for many years as a food and for medicine. It can live for over a year without water!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The flowers are usually Pink or Lavender, although it does come in White. But there are many White flowers, so why not color it in pale Pink or Lavender? The stamens are darker Pink. They bloom in Spring and Summer. </span><br />
