Hooray, it’s almost spring! Temperatures are about to rise, the birds will start singing, and beautiful flowers are about to bloom. Every state has a state flower. I have always been fascinated by every state’s thing that they claimed or declared like state song, state drink, state reptile, etc. And I know where I live, our state flower means a lot to us. So I thought it would be great to share these beautiful flowers with you as we count down the days to spring.
