What is the state flower of Pennsylvania?

• A. Common blue violet
• B. Mountain laurel
• C. Arrowwood viburnum
• D. White baneberry

Answer: (B)

Mountain laurel is the official state flower of Pennsylvania. It’s a native evergreen shrub that thrives in Pennsylvania’s woodlands and the Appalachian region, and it bursts into bloom in late spring with distinctive pink to white clusters that brighten shady, rocky slopes. This visibility and association with Pennsylvania’s landscapes helped it be chosen as the state flower. The other plants listed—common blue violet, arrowwood viburnum, and white baneberry—are native to the region too, but they are not designated as the state flower.
