The Cooktown orchid became known as Queensland's floral emblem in 1959, during celebrations to mark the state's centenary. Before this, the distinctive native flower had long been popularly considered as Queensland’s unofficial floral emblem. The Cooktown orchid is native to Queensland's northern tropics and is named after the northern Queensland town of Cooktown. It grows on trees and rocks in well-watered areas of the Cape York Peninsula.
