Alabama State Flower

Camellia

(Camellia japonica)

The Camellia (Camellia japonica), Alabama's official state flower, is a symbol of beauty and resilience. With its elegant, waxy petals in shades of white, pink, and red, the Camellia graces gardens and landscapes across the state, particularly during the winter months when it blooms. Its enduring charm and ability to thrive even in challenging conditions make it a fitting representation of Alabama's spirit. The Camellia's association with the state dates back to the early 20th century, and it has since become a beloved emblem of natural grace and strength for the people of Alabama.
