We have Texas Wild Flowers around our New Building and they looked Great last year. However, until the flowers fully bloom the kind of look like weeds. We're proud of our wild flowers and want to educate visitor's by putting up Signage. Is there any "Official" Texas Wild Flowers? Please send responds to roger.weiss@christushealth.org
The Blue Topaz
In 1863, Congress designated the Idaho Territory with the erroneous understanding that Idaho was a Shoshone word meaning Gem of the Mountains. In spite of the misunderstanding concerning the origin of the name the state continues to be known as the "Gem State" and the "Gem of the Mountains".
The state gem of Texas is the "Texas Blue Topaz". While Topaz gemstones naturally occur in many different colors, along with a colorless variation, the state of Texas adopted the deep blue variation as its state stone in 1969, along with a particular cut, known as the "Lone Star Cut".
