Violet
(Viola Sororia)
It was suggested that New Jersey school children be allowed to vote for a state flower before 1913. But the children reportedly weren’t enthusiastic about the project. In 1913, the violet was adopted as the state flower.
Â
It has been said that the violet was omitted when New Jersey’s laws were revised in 1937. If true, that might explain why a bill to adopt Wisconsin’s state flower, the common blue violet (Viola papilionacea) was introduced in 1961. That bill failed. In 1971, New Jersey garden clubs claimed that the 1913 violet bill wasn’t legal. A new bill was enacted, this time specifying the violet Viola sororia.
