Why is it illegal to pick the state flower?

Because they are protected by state law.





If people could pick them at will, there would be a lot less around for others to enjoy.

Why is it illegal to pick the state flower?
Which state do you refer to? Years ago, I was in the Tyler Rose Garden and my boyfriend and I were walking in the yellow Texas Rose Section and my boyfriend picked me a yellow Texas Rose! As we were leaving, we saw this sign that said it was illegal to pick a rose! I was so horrified and so in love with my boyfriend so I hid the yellow rose inside my shirt! We joked about it for years! I think now upon reflection that if every person picks a rose in the Tyler Rose garden, the roses would all vanish! It is a law to protect certain gardens not all flowers!
Reply:In most states it is not. It might be illegal to collect ANY flowers in a state park or public garden and some states might have special protection for certain flowers but there is no nationwide law that prohibits picking state flowers.

Why was the Arizona Saguaro Cactus chosen as the state flower?

Because it is indigenous and beautiful....I cannot imagine any other reasons being needed

Why was the Arizona Saguaro Cactus chosen as the state flower?
Probably because Arizona is one of the the only states where the saguaro cactus grows naturally. The flower is very pretty and fragrant.





"Arizona’s state flower, the blossom of the saguaro cactus, was probably chosen because the saguaro cactus is so unique. The saguaro is the largest cactus in the world and the only place they 'naturally' grow is within 150 miles of Phoenix-Scottsdale, Arizona."
Reply:most flowers are chosen because they grow there or they are only grown there...the cactus is actually beautiful and a picture cannot do it justice...


What is the state flower of Colorado?

It is white and might look like a Lily.

What is the state flower of Colorado?
Colorado specifies the white and lavender Rocky Mt. Columbine which has blue-violet petals and spurs, a white cup and yellow center. Blue is a symbol of the sky, white represents snow, and yellow symbolizes Colorado's gold mining history. Here is a picture of what it looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Colum...





The Rocky Mountain Columbine was designated the official state flower of Colorado in 1899 after winning the vote of Colorado's school children. Discovered in 1820 on Pike's Peak by mountain climber Edwin James, the Rocky Mountain columbine (Columbine Aquilegia caerulea) is a lovely flower with a rich aroma to attract bees, hummingbirds and butterflies to it's nectar. The Latin word aquila means "Eagle" and refers to the claw-like spurs at the base of the flower.





Columbines bloom in pastel shades of blue, violet, red, yellow and white. There are 70 species of columbines in the world and about 1/3 are native to North America.





A law was enacted in 1925 to protect this rare %26amp; delicate flower. The Colorado General Assembly wisely made it illegal to uproot the flower on public lands and the gathering of blossoms and buds is limited to 25 in one day. It may not be picked at all on private land without the consent of the landowner.





Another honor was bestowed on the Rocky Mountain columbine in 1915 when the song "Where The Columbines Grow" was adopted as the official Colorado state song.

Only if you trespass on private property. Since roses do not grow wild, all are cultivated and privately owned.
