One of Florida's largest export industries is the orange...so it stands to reason the the orange blossom was chosen to acknowledge that.\n\nHello Nicole d.....correct me if I'm wrong, but orange blossoms are the precursors to "oranges". Please see the wikipedia link:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_blossoms

This is very specific to the culture you live in, and to the Victorian era (1832-1907).  Also remember most people, as in maybe 1 in 10,000 will even have the thought of understanding or thinking of the meaning of a specific flower.  Presuming you live in the U.S. these are thought to be the representations.\n\n* Daffodil : respect and admiration\n* Mum : bronze excitement;red sharing & love;white truth;yellow secret admirer\n* Poinsettia : asking for “Be Of Good Cheer”\n* rattan : ?\n* Chrysanthemum : friendship; red love; white truth;yellow slighted love\n\nThe color is more important then the type of flower:\nRed love, passion, lust\nPink happiness, love\nWhite  purity, innocence, pure love (not eros, but pathos or philia)\nYellow  friendship; or slighted love; or secret love

In a religious/philisophical context, flowers symbolize renewal.  Either renewal of the body or of the soul. Also, perennial plants (ones which flower yearly) are analogus to the religious doctrine of ressurection.    A lot has to do with the ancient's perception of illness and the role that plants/flowers played in that.  Medicinal plants/flowers restored ill people to health, so there is a subconscious need to maintain a "relationship" with flowers/plants.  I know that this is a little disjointed, but I'm just giving you the tip of the iceberg to work with.\n\nGood Luck

Florida is heavily influenced by the Indian and Spanish cultures.  The blend of the two could be "original" to Florida.\n\nThere is also the Cuban culture, which started when people came in from Cuba.  Their adaption to this country (new environment) developed a new culture in Florida.\n\nThere's also a "tourist" culture.  People coming from colder climates developed ways of living, influenced art and ideas.  That development goes back hundreds of years.
