Mississippi Magnolia Blossom State Flower T-shirts

Mississippi Magnolia Blossom State Flower T-shirts:

On April 1, 1938, the Mississippi Legislature officially approved the magnolia as the state tree of Mississippi.

Still, the state had no official state flower. The adoption of the magnolia blossom was to wait for another 14 years. Finally, on February 26, 1952, the "flower or bloom" of the magnolia was approved by the Mississippi Legislature; 52 years after it had been chosen by 12,745 Mississippi school children. One legislator, who shall remain nameless, voted against the adoption!
