The citrus industry is an important part of Florida's economy, and the orange blossom is a symbol of the industry. The orange blossom was also chosen as the state flower because it is associated with beauty, innocence, and purity. The flower is believed to bring luck and prosperity to those who smell it. In addition to being a symbol of the state's economy and beauty, the orange blossom is also a symbol of hope and is often used to decorate wedding bouquets, as a way to wish the couple luck and happiness.
