Quick Chicago Flower Fact:
In 1907, Illinois school children voted to select the state flower. Of all the plants that grow in the state, they selected the Violet. The General Assembly approved a bill to make this flower selection official in 1908. Chicago Florists and Chicago Flower shops rejoiced!
Illinois State Flower: Violet
Illinois was the first of four states to choose the violet as its state flower. The violet was selected to be Illinois' state flower by schoolchildren in 1908. The violet is also the state flower for New Jersey, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
Although its name suggests its color, the violet comes in many colors including yellow, white, blue-violet, lilac-purple, and even an unusual green! There are at least 30 common violet species in Illinois with at least 25 types of Chicago Flowers found in the area alone. Most species have small flowers (about 1 inch to 1½ inches across) usually containing five petals.
Violets are found in all kinds of sites from sunny prairies and lawns to shady woods and wetlands. The flowering season of the violet depends on the species and spans from mid-March to June. The whole violet is a favorite meal of rabbits, while mice, wild turkeys, ruffed grouse and mourning doves eat only the seeds.
One violet species is nicknamed "Johnny Jump-up" and many others have been the subject of poems and nursery rhymes. They have also been called "nature's vitamin pill." Believe it or not, violets are high in vitamin A and contain more vitamin C (ounce for ounce) than oranges!
