Michigan designated the apple blossom as official state flower in 1897 (Michigan also recognizes a state wildflower).  All State Flowers

From the legislation: "Our blossoming apple trees add much to the beauty of our landscape, and Michigan apples have gained a worldwide reputation.

Michigan has been one of the leading producers of apples and apple products since those early days."
