Delaware State Flower History:

Promoting Delaware 's reputation as the “ Peach State ,” the Peach Blossom was adopted as the state flower of Delaware on May 9, 1895 . At that time, orchards containing more than 800,000 peach trees yielded crops worth thousands of dollars at a time. The only thing better than the monetary worth of the peach tree is the beautiful blossoms which is produces.
