March Wild Flower Records
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Updated to March 31, 2007
I am updating Latin names from "FLORA Ontario – Integrated Botanical Information System"

Here are records of 24 wild or naturalized species and 5 cultivated species found
in bloom
in March during the last 9 years in the Hamilton Area.
