January Flower Records
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Updated to January 31, 2008
I am updating Latin names from "FLORA Ontario – Integrated Botanical Information System"
as I find errors in my older records.
Records of 21 wild or naturalized species in bloom and 3 cultivated species seen in
bloom in January
during the last 9 years in the Hamilton Area.
