Among Washington DC’s list of official things (tree, bird, fruit, fish, dinosaur?) is the official flower: American Beauty Rose, which was actually brought here from France 150 years ago. This seems all wrong to have as our official flower, so I nominate a new one: Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima).

It grows naturally in our neighborhoods, woodlands, and meadows. It’s native to the wider area, attracts pollinators, and generally looks nice in our gardens at the end of summer. And it also has a weird political connection, as its toxic parts killed Abraham Lincoln’s mother. Maybe not a selling point but hey, it’s memorable.

Are there any other suggestions out there?
