Alaska State Flower Pattern {Forget-Me-Not}
The Forget-Me-Not was adopted as the official flower of Alaska in 1917. Written in the margin of the bill was the following poem:
A little flower blossoms forth
On every hill and dale,
The emblem of the Pioneers
Upon the rugged trail;
The Pioneers have asked it
And we could deny them not;
So the emblem of Alaska
Is the blue Forget-me-not.
