States Of Modern Block Of The Week 7: Connecticut

Is it possible that we’re already on the seventh week of the year? My, time does fly. This week we’re going to talk about Connecticut. One of the original colonies, it was the fifth state admitted to the union.

States Connecticut

Here are some interesting facts about Connecticut:
Capital: Hartford
Admission to statehood: January 9, 1788
Flag: On a field of azure blue is an ornamental white shield with three grapevines, each bearing three bunches of purple grapes. The states motto “He who Transplanted Sustains Us” is displayed on a white ribbon.
Bird: Robin
Flower: Mountain Laurel
Largest cities: Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford
And Connecticut’s state nickname is the Nutmeg State. So our block is loosely based upon the flag with a modern, very simplified version of that shield in the center and a nutmeg leaf on the shield. Interestingly, the nutmeg leaf shape is very close to the Mountain Laurel (The Connecticut State Flower) leaf shape.
