Michigan State Flower: Apple Blossom

Michigan State Flower Coloring

The Apple Blossom is the State Flower of Michigan, just as it is of Arkansas. Since Apple trees grow all over North America it's not that surprising. 

The scent of the Apple Blossom is very nice! And the flowers are quite beautiful too. They range from White to Pink, and often are White with Pink trim. Their scent is the basis of many perfumes being quite sweet. They bloom from April to June. 

Michigan chose  the specific species of Pyrus coronaria for its State Flower which is also called Crab Apple. They are very small apples and are used only for jellies or jams, not for eating. (There is no reason why you can't eat them however.)
