Is it against a U.S. law to mow down state flowers with your lawnmower?

I been told a person can be fine for cutting or harning state flowers of your state.

That is nonsense. Whether you can pick a state flower or not has nothing to do with its designation as a state flower.





If a plant is protected, or on someone else's lawn, you can't mow it down no matter what state listed it as their state flower.





A lot of state flowers are flowers that are on trees. And people chop down trees all the time. See:

The next time someone says there is a law, ask to see the law. With the internet available, that should not be a problem nowadays.
Reply:If their destruction is illegal, then yes.
Reply:That is true in some states - however you need to look at WHERE those flowers are planted. If they're in your own yard - you can pretty much do what you want. If they're on a public thoroughfare, then you may be out of luck.
Reply:It actually varies by state. Federal law only governs mowing down (or otherwise harming) plants if they're endangered or on federal land. Every state has different laws regarding their state flowers; in some places they are protected, in others the flower may be so common it has no special status except the symbolic honor.
