South Carolina ... The Palmetto State (comes from the State Tree, the Sabal Palmetto, a type of Palm Tree) ....
South Dakota ... The Mount Rushmore State ...
Tennessee ... The Volunteer State ...
With today's post we've covered 42 of the 50 U. S. States. We will take a break over the next few days and complete the series next week. Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
I love the iris! I think Tennessee's bird and flower are my favorites of these three. I'm really enjoying learning about each state's picks. :-)
ReplyDeletepheasant are just too cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great series--so many beautiful birds and flowers. You mentioned that you were looking for a J for Anni's challenge. I was just noticing some large flocks of birds migrating north by our place yesterday, and I would bet at some point in their spring and fall flights, the flocks would form a J--though it would be hard to catch at just the right moment. It will be interesting to see what you do find.
