Pine Cone & Tassel (Eastern) White Pine (Pinus Strobus) A number of states have adopted arboreal blossoms, or flowers that bloom on trees, as state flowers. But can you imagine adopting a pine cone as a state flower? That’s exactly what Maine did!   For the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, States were asked to choose floral emblems. Three candidates were chosen. Two, the goldenrod and apple blossom, were genuine flowers. The third was the pine cone and tassel. The pine cone won 10,000 of 17,000 votes. It was adopted as Maine’s state flower on February 1, 1895.   In 1945, the white pine was adopted as Maine’s state tree. Today, it is called the eastern white pine, which is also the official tree of Michigan and Ontario.
