Ha! Ha! Ha!
We will never be a state.
We do not have a state flower.
We have a provincial flower.
Our provincial flower is the trillium
It was once a candidate to represent the Christian Trinity

Wyoming's State flower is Indian Paintbrush. Fun fact - Indian Paintbrush is actually a parasitic plant, sapping nutrients from the roots of surrounding plants, which is one reason why you won't find it growing outside of its wild habitat.

I would love to see your photos of their beauty.

This dogwood is not actually the Virginia native that is the state flower, but it's blooming now, alongside the azaleas.
