But they must still have a "flower" like structure for the pollin to land on. Even if it's like not an obvious thing.

It has me thinking, if we did have a state flower what would it be?

My vote is stinking Benjamin.

It has a zygote, or egg under the scales, yes. But it doesn't have an ovary like flowers do, which is what defines them. It also does not contain a stamen, or sperm producing organ like a flower. Instead, gymnosperm alternate between pollinating and being pollinated (to avoid self-pollination).

And I think the stinking benjamin would be a wonderful idea for a state plant! Though I admit I had to look that up cause I'd only heard them called "waking robins" before lol
