Arkansas State Flower

Apple Blossom

(Malus domestica)

The Apple Blossom (Malus domestica), designated as the official state flower of Arkansas, is a delicate and fragrant bloom that graces apple trees throughout the state in the spring. Known for its captivating beauty, the apple blossom typically features five delicate white petals with a hint of pink blush, creating a stunning contrast against the tree's dark green leaves. These blossoms not only symbolize the state's agricultural heritage, particularly its apple orchards, but also serve as a reminder of the natural beauty that blankets Arkansas each spring, making it a fitting emblem for the Natural State.
