Wildflower Watch
White Trillium
Trillium grandiflorum
(Last information update May 7, 2008)
All flowers seen in or near Hamilton,
Ontario
(43:17N, 79:93W) unless otherwise noted.
(Flowers that have been found blooming in May
during past years.)
May 1 - 6, 2008
Following are the
names of 62 native or naturalized species found blooming during the last
week. In the list are 14 species that are new (N) for the year. Places searched included RBG's Hendrie Valley and Arboretum,
the middle part of the Dundas Valley, the riverside trail in
Brantford, and a property just west of the Hamilton
Border.
The White Birches are mostly finished blooming, even though I just saw them this
week. I did manage to find one tree with pollen on the male catkins.
I was not as lucky with the Twinleaf (Jeffersonia diphylla). When I found
the plants in the Hendrie Valley, they had already finished blooming and were
setting seeds already.
