Oregon Grape
(Berberis Aquifolium)
In 1890, George H. Himes suggested that the Oregon Historical Society pass a resolution designating a state flower. He suggested the Oregon grape. Other flowers were also named, but the Society couldn’t settle on a candidate. A similar effort failed to produce a candidate in 1891. A state flower was discussed at yet another meeting in 1892. The Washington lily, wake-robin, and Oregon grape were all suggested. The Oregon grape received a large majority of votes. It was adopted as Oregon’s state flower in January 1899. Oregon was the tenth state to adopt an official flower.
