When it comes to floral symbols, just one flower is not enough for the people of Oklahoma! The Sooner state was already represented by two plants when lawmakers added a third because the others were considered not âcultivatedâ enough. One, the Indian Blanket, is a wildflower. The other, Mistletoe, is a parasite. So when more than 180 gardening clubs lobbied to add the Oklahoma Rose as a third, lawmakers acquiesced. It became the official Oklahoma state flower in 2004. Today, the Oklahoma Rose is a darling of gardening clubs throughout the state from Tulsa to Lawton. In the crowded world of hybrid Roses and the like, the Oklahoma state flower stands out because of its fragrance and beauty.
