The state flower of New Mexico is Yucca.

Because of its prominence in the desert landscapes of the state, the Yucca plant—specifically, the Yucca braciola—is designated as the official flower of New Mexico. This flowering plant is distinguished by its tall, white flower clusters that emerge in the spring and its long, sword-like leaves. The yucca is a representation of New Mexico's natural beauty and adaptability due to its ability to withstand the state's severe, desert climate. Native American tribes have also given it cultural value because they have utilized several components of the yucca plant for food, fiber, and medicine.
