| Spring In Ontario Canada is unique for its beauty, wildflowers,
and return of many species of birds, the beginning of fishing season and
romantic getaway weekends. One of the first signs of spring is the number
of spring flowers that begin to bloom, even before all of the snow melts.
It is good luck to make a wish when you see your first spring wildflower.
You make the wish for someone else, and all the joys of spring will go
to both you and the person you wished for. The Province of Ontario has
their official flower the Trillium. The Trillium grows wild and is predominant
throughout the woodlands and forests north of Toronto. This is a truly
remarkable flower, mostly white in colours but with hues of purples and
pinks with the odd pure purple colored Trillium.
Travel North in Ontario to see beautiful Spring Flowers.
One of the great debates and questions among botanists, and flower experts;
“ What denotes a wildflower or a weed”?
Can a weed be a spring flower in Ontario? This editor’s answer
is “of course”! Often it is municipalities, and government
departments that convince us, that a perfectly beautiful flower is defined
in official
Legislation or rules and regulations as a weed. Here are a number of links
that will help the reader determine their own choice of weeds or spring
flowers.
