I'm sure that I knew the word "icon" before the internet age. Now, it seems to be in very common usage. My computer shows icons on the monitor.
More importantly, the landscape around here is now showing an icon just about everywhere! A species of Mock Orange grows wild here. It is the state flower of Idaho. I think it is real special, altho' there is some controversy about the name . . .
Yes, it seems that it has been called Syringa since it was named for Meriwether Lewis. These days, there are folks who insist that it should be called Philadelphus lewisii instead of Syringa lewisii.
I'm walking past this bush every time I turn the water on or off at the little veggie garden/dahlia garden. The scent is unbelievable!
I turn on the valve on one end of this garage, then go to the other end for another valve. Across the neighbor's fence is a pink rose that is in full bloom right now. It is just an incredible experience of fragrance!
How about in your neighborhood. Is there an iconic plant?
