To all those interested in nature, welcome to The Nature Hut.

State flower images request.

As most of you will know this is the nature forum in partnership with our main site, Nature Inn. We have many topics in the site, one is the States official birds. We had a few images sent to us to help fill quite a few of the blank spaces. Now we are going to take on the States official flowers. We are asking you if you would like to take part in this. You can see the bird pages at State Birds. We give a credit line, but its fun to join in. We don't need high resolutions, if its a close up 300 is fine. Hope you want to help us. Thanks.

OK, Here's a start-Rhododendron (Rhododenron maximum), our state flower here in West Virginia. We just returned from traveling New England and will post some digitals as they are edited.
Best regards, Margaret
