Oklahoma[edit]

(This section was moved here from the Talk:Mistletoe page. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:41, 21 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]

When I was growing up in Oklahoma, the public schools taught that mistletoe was the state flower. User:70.174.166.186 has challenged that, but I wonder if it isn't revisionist history (perhaps by the Legislature), and I'd be interested in seeing a reference.--Curtis Clark 16:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct: it was declared the territorial floral emblem in 1893, and became the state flower when Oklahoma became a state. Mistletoe remained the state flower until 2004, when it was replaced by the Oklahoma Rose; mistletoe was demoted to state floral emblem. --ABehrens (talk) 16:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shrub?[edit]

Can you really call a plant that parasitizes the limbs of a tree a "shrub"? It never touches the ground. IAmNitpicking (talk) 03:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
