Idaho Syringa State Flower T-shirts

Idaho Syringa State Flower T-shirts:

The history of the Syringa, or Lewis Mock Orange, as a representative of the State of Idaho, began in the summer of 1890.

Idaho had just been admitted to the union in July. As a new state, Idaho was in need of an official state seal. Concurrent Resolution No. 1, of the First Idaho Legislature, directed that a committee be formed to sponsor a design contest for the seal and that a prize of $100.00 be awarded for the best design. The First Legislature also agreed to identify Syringa as the official state flower.
