The Indian Blanket Flower
The Indian Blanket is Oklahoma’s state flower. It is also sometimes called “sundance” because of its petals that are red near the center and fade to a bright yellow tip. The effect is as beautiful as an Oklahoma sunset! These plants with hair stems are relatives of the sunflower and are annual plants that last for only one growing season. Indian Blanket can be seen by the roadside in many southwestern states. One of reasons that this bloom was chosen as the state flower is its nod to the large Native American population that still occupies Oklahoma today.
Although most flower shops would not stock the Indian Blanket, there are still ways to incorporate this symbol of the state into a gift for one of its residents. A beautiful flower arrangement in reds, oranges, and yellows will capture the hues of the plant. Flowers that come in those colors include gerber daisies, alstroemeria, daisy pom pons, lilies, and roses. It would make a great fall flower arrangement or a vibrant birthday gift.
As mentioned above, the Indian Blanket is related to the sunflower. Sunflowers are a favorite of many, and are usually readily available through Kremp Florist. Consider sending a sunny sunflower arrangement. This is sure to bring cheer to your recipient whether they need get-well flowers or are just having a bad day.
Oklahoma Sooners
If you are an Oklahoma sports fan, then you are familiar with the team nickname “the Sooners.” Early pioneers got this nickname during the Land Runs in 1889 when settlers raced to claim what was formerly Native American territory. Some people who literally jumped the gun and staked their plots too early were called “sooners.” A “sooner” came to be known as someone with a can-do attitude, enthusiasm, and drive, hence why state residents embraced the moniker.
Being a “sooner” is an important characteristic to find in a service provider like Kremp Florist.
