National Flower Day, Children's Poetry Day, March 21st

National Flower Day

Every state has a flower, from the yellow rose of Texas to the Wild Oregon Grape. Check out your State flower here. The national flower for the United States is the rose, specifically, the American Beauty. It did not become the National Flower until 1986, under President Regan. Check out the U.S. Code declaring roses the national flower here. That is if you are like me and like reading U.S. Code. :)

You can also check out the Wild Flower Folklore Website. If you want to find out what flower is effective for birth control, and which flower is "the wild flower of death."

If you want to tell someone message, but want to do it subtly, so subtle that the receiver is just simply happy that they received flowers, check out this site, The Language of Flowers. Now with this new knowledge, you can say "I have a message for you, Beware of a false friend" with just irises and francisca latifolia. Perfect. Now, all we need to do is find out what francisca latifolia is.
