Oregon chose the Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) as its state flower in 1899 due to its abundance in the region and its bright yellow blooms, which symbolize the state's natural beauty. The decision was influenced by local advocacy, particularly from schoolchildren who campaigned for its recognition. The Oregon grape is also significant for its edible berries and evergreen foliage, reflecting the state's diverse ecology. Ultimately, it became a symbol of pride for Oregonians, representing both the state's flora and its commitment to conservation.
