North Carolina State Flower

The blossom of the dogwood tree (Cornus florida) was designated as the official state flower of North Carolina in 1941. The Dogwood is one of the most common trees in North Carolina, found in all parts of the state from the mountains to the coast.

Most often the flowers are white, but shades of pink and red are not uncommon.
