Magnolia
Magnolia grandiflora
An election was held in November 1900 to select a State Flower. Votes were submitted by 23,278 school children. These were the top scores: The magnolia received 12,745 votes; the cotton blossom 4,171; and the cape jasmine 2,484. The magnolia was officially designated as the State Flower by the 1952 Legislature.
In 1935, the Director of Forestry started a movement by which to select a State Tree for Mississippi, to be selected by nomination and election by the school children of the State. Four nominations were made--the magnolia, oak, pine and dogwood. The magnolia received by far the largest majority. On April 1, 1938, the Mississippi Legislature officially designated the magnolia as the State Tree.
