Greetings from Florida — Orange Blossom

c. 1940s
State
Florida
Category

Format
Postcard

A cluster of orange blossoms anchors the foreground, beside a civic building and views fitted into the lettering. The floral detail helps distinguish this statewide design from other Florida greetings.

Florida designated the orange blossom its state flower in 1909. The sprig in the foreground carries that statewide association while also pointing to the citrus groves that shaped Florida’s reputation.
