After writing my last post, I thought it would be interesting to post some fun facts about Maryland. Hope you enjoy!
Maryland's state flag!
The Baltimore Oriole has been the state bird since 1947.
In 1964, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was named the official dog of Maryland.
The rockfish was named the official fish of Maryland in 1965. It is considered to be the most valuable fish in Maryland waters.
Maryland's State tree is the White Oak.
The Black Eyed Susan has been the official flower of Maryland since 1918. It is a yellow daisy, or cornflower and blooms late in the summer.
In 1989, the Maryland Blue Crab was designated as the state's official crustacean.
The Diamondback Terrapin is the state's official reptile and mascot for the University of Maryland College Park.
In 2004, Lacrosse was named the official team sport of Maryland (We're not on the west coast anymore toto!)
In 1998, milk was named Maryland's official drink. Let's hope Dave doesn't have to make any appearances drinking the state's official drink!
