The goldenrod is the official state flower of Nebraska. This is cache #13 of 27 honoring the state symbols of Kansas and Nebraska along State Line Road.
Goldenrod, also known as solidago serotina, was designated the official state flower of Nebraska in 1895 to foster a feeling of pride in the state and stimulate an interest in the history and traditions of the commonwealth.
"This state flower has a very long season and nothing better could represent the hearty endurance of Nebraska's pioneers." -Ida Brockman, daughter of representative John Brockman
