The Beautiful World Of Canadian Flowers

By Adriana Noton

You can find lovely Canadian flowers growing in the forests, gardens and along the roadsides all throughout Canada. These are a little different than some you may be used too but they definitely have a unique beauty to each and every one.

A rare beauty that grows in the Saskatchewan area is called the Western red Lily. These flourish in the meadows of the countrysides and in areas that are forested but smaller. Their color is very noticeable as it is a bright red with tine flecks of golden centers to draw your attention in to them.

You can find Wild Roses in the territories of Quebec on to British Columbia meadows and gardens. These are dainty and truly worth any garden addition you may be thinking of.

The recognized flower of Canada is the maple leaf and is even included on Canada's flags and things. These leaves are brilliant in their coloring once in full bloom and growth.

Prince Edward Island is an exquisite place to visit and the added joy of finding lovely Lady's Slippers blooming all over it is a great bonus. These can only be found within the spring seasons and tend to have more growth in forested areas and places that carry a lot of shade. These are elegant and look like a true lady's slippers she may be wearing to a grand ball.

You can find Pacific Dogwoods all in bloom within the April and the May months every year in British Columbia. These lovely blooms only happen on the dogwoods that have reached a taller required height for blooming.

Mayflowers are a big part of history as they are named in commemoration of the great ship the pilgrims used "The Mayflower". Early settlers thought this the perfect name for the flowers they first saw that spring time season. These wildly paint the whole coastlines from the North Eastern Americas.

White Trilliums decorate most of Ontario in their vibrant looks. The spring flowers are more at home in the forests than in open areas. They carry only 3 of the flowers as well as the leaves that is why they came up with calling them Trilliums.

Quebec is home to the Delicate Blue Flags. These flowers have contributed to the landscape here from 1936 on when they were introduced here for the first time.

Purple Violet's of New Brunswick are similar to the ones in the states. They are very small and a deep rich purple or rich dark blue color. These love wet lands and forests for their growth.

If you venture into the Yukon Territory you will see brilliant fiery red flowers called Fire Weed. These were named this because of their abilities to grow better in lands that had been burned or had fires happen on their grounds. It is a tall plant that has an assortment of flowering darker pink blooms. You can also spot these by rivers, and roadsides.

A truly unique and interesting plant called the Pitcher Plant can be found growing in Labrador and Newfoundland. This flower can actually water itself. Water fills the top like a water pitcher would and then as water and some insects are trapped within the plants holding area they digest them for nutrients and food.

Flowers are all over the world and in different hues, shapes and climates. Finding rare gems within them all is always worth a quick stop on your daily routine to admire and enjoy the beauty that is nature and all around us such as these special Canadian flowers. - 31996
