find the plant

[phizzy]

hi, first of all thanks to valerieb and getoverit for yesterday's answers.(had me well stumped)
still on the flower festival quiz am still struggling with the last remaining question ie:-
Cherokees ( 9 )
the answer will be 'plant or flower' related ?

Could it POSSIBLY (!) be Sequoyahs?
He wrote a writing system for the Cherokee people and it is a tree....Very obscure I realise but if there isnt anything else it might be worth putting it down!

[missesbell]

sequoyahs ??? Very obscure I know but he is connected with Cherokees and it is a tree!!

Chickasaw? (= Cherokee rose: a wild rose of the southern United States, Rosa l�vigata)
