What a great challenge today! So I learned that the Missouri state flower is the Hawthorne. Still have no clue if I have ever even seen a Hawthorne! I do not own a stamp of this flower, so I played it safe and went with the U.S floral symbol-a rose.
Happy Independence Day everyone!

Very pretty. I think the hawthorne grows in lots of places, even Massachusetts.

LeeAnn, Your card is stunning. Into my favs. I have to check out the hawthorne too! Never heard of it until today. Sure glad you graced our gallery with our country's flower today. Happy 4th.

We have hawthorn here, and the hedgerows are full of it in May/June, a wash of tiny white and pink blossoms. But your roses are simply gorgeous, and I love the little birdhouse.
