Connecticut's state flower is Kalmia Latifolia, the Mountain
Laurel. This flowering plant is in the blueberry family,
native to the area. The blooms are pale and delicate, often
pale pink, white or light red.
Connecticut designated mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) as
the official state flower in 1907. Mountain laurel is also
called ivybush, calico bush, sheep laurel, lambkill, clamoun,
and spoonwood (native Americans used to make spoons from the
wood). The mountain laurel is one of the most beautiful of
native American shrubs. The fragrant star-shaped white and
pink flowers have attracted travelers since early colonial
days (first recorded in America in 1624).
What does the word Connecticut mean?
The name Connecticut originates from the Indian word "Quinnehtukqut"
(beside the long tidal river). The name Connecticut was
established early in the 1600's (referring to the
Connecticut River).
