Flowers have always been an integral part of human culture, often symbolizing beauty, love, and the natural world. In the United States, each state has an official flower that represents its unique geography, history, and culture. These state flowers were chosen through a combination of popular vote, legislative action, and historical significance. Some state flowers are native to their respective regions, while others were brought in from other parts of the world.
