Kentucky State Flower

Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra) was designated the official state tree of Ohio in 1953. Ohio's nickname is "the buckeye state." The buckeye is fairly common in Ohio, growing especially well along rivers, streams, and on floodplains.

The yellow buckeye is closely related to the Ohio Buckeye and it's difficult to differentiate between the two species.
