What is Maryland's State Flower?
Maryland State Flower - Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia
hirta)
In 1896, after possibly being inspired by the
Chicago World's Fair that inspired so many other
state flowers, a group of women formed at the
Maryland Agricultural College.Surprisingly, the
Black-Eyed Susan is not native to Maryland, but
came from the Midwest. Despite much opposition
to what some considered a weed, the Black-Eyed
Susan was eventually adopted as the state's floral
emblem in 1918.
