Since I've moved, I was curious about the state animals here and whatnot, so I decided to look some up :)

[Muffincat]

Yes, yes, sorry to you out-of-US-friends :P

I know it's very U.S.-centered, but I still love you guys D:

also, Lemon, I just looked up what a white trillium is, and it is awesome

Also I didn't know that many famous people came from Connecticut :P

[LemonRising]

yeah they're pretty <:

and illegal to pick lol

[Muffincat]

Yeah, actually, is that a rule everywhere?

I know poppies are illegal to pick in California if they're not on your property or on government property or something like that; I don't remember (that is their state flower)

I suppose it is because of the state flower thing, but it could also be because of opium-related uses *shrug*
