Every cut flower and piece of decorative greenery displayed in public areas of the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon would have to be grown in the United States under this bill. Right now, a large share of flowers used in federal buildings are imported. The bill, named after the late Congressman Don Young, aims to support American flower growers — an industry that's been shrinking due to foreign competition. It wouldn't apply to flowers federal employees buy for personal use, and agencies would have one year to comply.
