The Mississippi river and the people who live near it have been intrinsically linked since humans first roamed the land. For Mississippians today, the river is a vital resource for transportation, industry, and tourism…and holds a rich history. It’s hard to even think about Mississippi without picturing a vintage paddlewheel boat on the river. Without a doubt, Mississippi wins for having the most fun and rhythmic name, especially when spelling it aloud!

Magnolias, the large fragrant flowers that hold the title of state flower as well as state nickname, are the focal point of this design with blooms and buds alongside the muddy Mississippi river.
