Washington state flower?
Coast rhododendron
The story behind it is...
In 1892, before they had the right to vote, Washington women selected the coast rhododendron as the state flower. They wanted an official flower to enter in a floral exhibit at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

When the ballots were counted, the rhododendron had been chosen as the Washington state flower.
