According to the U.S. Mint's official website, the Mississippi quarter showcases the beauty and elegance of the state flower, combining the blossoms and leaves of two magnolias with the inscription "The Magnolia State." The magnolia (Magnolia
grandiflora), named for the French botanist Pierre Magnol, is strongly
associated with the South, where the flower became enormously popular
after it was introduced from Asia. This association became strong enough
that Mississippi adopted it as the state flower in 1952.
