Kansas has mount sunflower. I think it's technically a mound, not quite a hill... :-)

Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest point in the state of Kansas. At 4,039 feet (1,231 m), it is 3,300 feet (1,010 m) feet above the state's topographic low point in Montgomery County in southeastern Kansas due to the gradual rise of the Rocky Mountains to the west. Located in Wallace County, it is less than one mile from the border with Colorado and close to Colorado's lowest point.

Mount Sunflower is located on private land owned by Mike and Rae Marie Jones, who encourage visitors to the site. Amenities include a picnic table, a sunflower sculpture made from railroad spikes, and a plaque that states "nothing happened here in 1897."

Access is via county dirt roads to the edge of the property, then across a cattle guard and onto a private dirt road through a cattle grazing pasture to the summit.

The state of Kansas gradually increases in elevation from the east to the west. As such, "Mount" Sunflower, while the highest point in the state in terms of elevation, is indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain.

metastasis

as in what cancer does as it moves from it's primary site to other places in the body - it can be said to have undergone metastasis. Also known as metastasing.

mmm, that must have been in the part of Kansas we didn't go to... In defence of the place, it is beautiful, and there's nothing to block the view of the sky, so you can see some gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. And all of the stars in the sky. The mountains do get in the way of that here occasionally :P I did try to find a word beginning with M that meant teasing.... but it doesn't seem to exist... prove me wrong if you can! lol

about the closest i could think of for a word for tease that starts with m would be "mock", not quite the same thing but close?

Narcissus

Type of flower, known here as daffodils. Also a greek/roman god of some kind.

Nah, mock definitely wasn't what I had in mind, I wasn't trying to do that! A word for the teasing you do with your friends, jibing and having them on, but not trying to be mean about it was what I meant :) Didn't start with M anyway ;)
