February Wild Flower Records
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Updated to February 29, 2008
I am updating Latin names from "FLORA Ontario – Integrated Botanical Information System"
as I find errors in my older records.
Here are records of 5 wild or naturalized species and 3 cultivated species found
in bloom
in February during the last 10 years in the Hamilton Area.
