The Official Michigan State Flower

Apple bloom

The Apple blossom, also known as the Malus coronaria, is a species of flowering plant native to Michigan. It is a member of the rose family, and is a deciduous shrub with white or pink flowers that bloom in the spring. The Apple blossom was designated as the official state flower of Michigan in 1897, due in part to its abundance in the state and its significance to the agricultural industry. Michigan is one of the nation's leading apple-producing states and the apple blossom has become a symbol of the state's agricultural heritage. The Apple blossom is a beautiful flower that can be seen throughout the state in the springtime and is often used in floral arrangements. It is also a popular choice for Michigan's state parks, and is featured in the official state seal. The Apple blossom is a fitting symbol for Michigan, as it represents the state's rich agricultural history and the bounty of its farms.
