Welcome to the Ontario Wildflowers website!
Your "online field guide" to Ontario's wildflowers
This website is all about wildflowers and plants that grow
in Ontario (Canada).
If you're not from Ontario, don't go away! Most of the plants featured on this
website grow elsewhere in eastern North America, and many grow elsewhere in the
world.
For trees & shrubs, please visit the
Ontario Trees & Shrubs website. For ferns, please visit the
Ontario Ferns website. And for
grasses, sedges, and rushes, please visit the
Ontario Grasses website.Please note

The study of wildflowers is an ongoing process. To
