Nearly every state grass is shared by another state.
Nevada/Utah: Indian ricegrass, New Mexico/Colorado: Blue grama, Washington/Montana: Bluebunch wheatgrass, Wyoming/South Dakota/North Dakota: Western wheatgrass, Missouri/Illinois: Big bluestem
Wisconsin, Illinois, Rhode Island, and New Jersey all share the genus Viola (the violet) as the state flower.
Incredibly, every single state has a state soil. (Though not all have been legislatively established.)
That’s a lot of dirt.
Washington and Mississippi disagree on what petrified wood should be classified as. While Washington declared it as their state gemstone, Mississippi calls it their state rock.
Fewer states have declared a state mineral, AKA the gemstone’s less glamorous cousin. (Though California, Alaska, and North Carolina all share gold.)
All but 10 states (Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, the Carolinas, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire) do not have a state fossil.
A good number of states have a red, white, and blue color scheme for their license plates.
Alabama, Massachusetts, and Oregon were a bit difficult to figure out how to show on this map. All have flags with different fronts and backs.
Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, West Virginia, Delaware, Hawaii, and Maine have yet to earn a Pulitzer Prize for Journalism.
On the other hand, papers based in New York have earned roughly 1/3 of all Pulitzers.
By birth state, New York represents almost 40% of Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. Perhaps Broadway influences career choices?
Based on NatGeo’s “Alaska State Troopers”, I would’ve thought Alaska would’ve had an even higher percentage of weekly pot smokers.
Unfortunately, the 2013 Pulitzer Prize announcement was not the most notable headline from the 24 hours.
My heart goes out to those in Boston.
New York City, center of the New York Times and Associated Press, tends to draw a high number of Pulitzer Prizes for Journalism.
Only South Carolina has a single state color, Indigo Blue. Most other states have a set of colors that reflect their state flag or a state University.
