White Trillium

The Floral Emblem of Ontario, Canada The floral emblem of Ontario, Canada is known as the White Trillium. This flower grows freely in the forests and woodlands. The White Trillium can be recognized by the three white waxy petals that protrude from each flower. This flower blooms in April and in May. The Trillium is very sensitive to sunlight. The blossoms are usually facing in the direction of the sun. The Trillium is a protected species of flower, and should not be picked.

The trillium gets its name from the Latin word for three. It has three large petals and three broad leaves. Trilliums are a favorite wildflower for many people. They can be seen in the early spring covering the woodland floor with white and pink blossoms. Trilliums can be found from Ontario, Quebec, western Maine, south to Georgia, west to Arkansas and to northern Minnesota. They bloom just about the time that robins appear and some people call them "wake robins." Look for a stalk 8-10 inches tall with three large oval-shaped leaves just below the three ruffled white petals at the top. Trilliums were used by Native Americans for food and as a drug to help the sick.
