Fifty State Flowers scarf, Supima cotton, 1970
Title
Fifty State Flowers scarf, Supima cotton, 1970
Description
For her Fifty State Flowers scarf, Welch took inspiration from the White House china ordered by Lady Bird Johnson from Tiffany & Co. in 1967 that features wildflowers from the United States. Most of the flowers on the scarf are clustered in bunches, but Welch placed the Cherokee rose, Georgia’s state flower, alone in the center to honor her own heritage. The scarf debuted on May Day in 1970 at Washington National Cathedral’s annual Flower Mart.
