Official Colorado Cactus?

I wonder what it means to have official state status for a cactus in Colorado? I would support the troop’s efforts regardless, because who doesn’t want more state-statused-officially-cactus plants? And it’s a pretty cactus plant too so that helps. Always with the pretty plants and the official statuses. Nobody ever approves the ugly plants for state statuses. Or even for county statuses. Why is that?
