Correct!
State Flowers are often showy, but not necessarily their fruit.
It tells much about the Indigenous Peoples that they used beautiful flowers for events, even funerals and burials. If you think of their common practice of putting a loved one’s body in a canoe and lifting it up into a tree, or floating it away on at current, you also can sense the importance of canoes to transportation and the sense of loss and the unknown. Plants and animals (flora and fauna) were “ethnobotanic,” being the study of the uses by Indigenous Peoples … “ethnozoological” is the term for study of uses of native animals.
More scientific names for “plants and animals” are:
Flora & Fauna
Merriam’s & Rio Grande
Fir & Ferns
From Time Immemorial to a Melting Pot
