Comments:
104 species were found in bloom during the period. 45 were new for the year. One was new to me and found only a few kilimetres from home on the very edge of Hamilton City Limits. It was the European Wallflower also known as Tall Wormseed Mustard. There was only one specimin in the RBG Herbarium and it was collected from Thunder Bay back in 1980.
I have started to display some of the previously posted flowers on a new page. The process is just barely started but have a look at the following link:

Photos and Information from Ron Hepworth
Ron passed away on Tuesday, September 4th, 2012. Because he kept records of early and peak blooming times for nearly 30 years and then passed along his summaries to me for this site, I plan on leaving his last summary here. Below is a small sample of what the whole summary looks like:
