Trivia: What plant appears on the Connecticut state flag?
Grapevine
Pine tree
Maple tree
Rose with thorns
The correct answer is Grapevine
So why is this answer correct? : Connecticut may be best known for deep East Coast forests and penning the first constitution in the United States…which is what makes the addition of three grapevines on the state flag seem odd at first glance. However, the grapevines were specifically chosen to represent the state’s first English settlers, specifically the first three towns in the state: Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford. Grapes represent peace and good luck, while the vines they grow on were considered a symbol of friendship.
