State Flower: Mistletoe Phoradendron serotinum

Mistletoe (phoradendron serotinum) was adopted in 1893 -- 14 years before statehood., as the official flower of the territory. Mistletoe grows parasitically on trees throughout the state and is particularly bountiful in the southern regions of Oklahoma. The dark green leaves and white berries show up brightly during the fall and winter in trees that have shed their own leaves. Mistletoe is a traditional Christmas Decoration and is sold in flower shops across the country from November through Christmas. Since the white berries often drop or rot quickly, the berries are replaced with white plastic berries when it is sold commercially.

Gardening in Oklahoma
    http://www.oklahomagardening.okstate.edu/ In 1975, the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) joined with Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service horticulturist Joe Maxson to produce a half-hour program called Oklahoma Gardening. Joe carried plants grown at Oklahoma State University to OETA's Oklahoma City studios, where he demonstrated basic gardening techniques. In 1980, Extension horticulturist Ray Campbell began hosting Oklahoma Gardening from his backyard in Stillwater, since advances in video technology allowed the show to be taped in advance. In 1986 Oklahoma Gardening was given a parcel of land at OBGA west of the OSU campus in Stillwater. Oklahoma Gardening celebrated it's 25th anniversary in 2000. The 2000 season also saw the addition of a Bog garden and the construction of a larger water garden. Steve Owens became the ninth host of Oklahoma Gardening in May of 2001. Oklahoma is a wonderful state for gardeners but there are many considerations unique to our state, which is why for 29 years Oklahoma Gardening has been the best place to tune in for gardening, lawn care, and landscaping information in Oklahoma. During the 2004 season we will continue our regional spotlight with a tour of southwestern Oklahoma. Join us each week on the OETA for "TV you'll grow to love."
