What is Colorado's state flower?

• A. Colorado Blue Columbine
• B. Lark Bunting
• C. Where the Columbine Grows.
• D. Nil Sine Numine

Answer: (A)

Colorado designates an official state flower, and the recognized one is the Colorado Blue Columbine, often called the Rocky Mountain columbine. It was adopted by the state legislature as a symbol and is widely identified with Colorado’s alpine beauty. The name reflects both the plant’s prominent blue blossoms and its Rocky Mountain habitat, which makes it the most accurate official symbol for the state flower.

The other options are not flowers or official symbols: the Lark Bunting is the state bird; a phrase like “Where the Columbine Grows” isn’t an official symbol; and Nil Sine Numine is the state motto, not a flower.
