Minnesota's state flower is the pink and white lady's slipper, a native orchid that can take more than a decade to produce its first bloom. It is protected by state law. Picking or uprooting one is illegal.
Minnesota has one of the shortest growing seasons in the country, which makes the summer local supply genuinely worth seeking out: peonies in June, then dahlias, zinnias and sunflowers into September. The rest of the year is imported, and winter delivery is worth planning around. Flowers left on a doorstep in a Minnesota January will freeze within minutes, so most local florists will insist on a hand delivery.
