Welcome to the Ontario Wildflowers website!
This website is all about wildflowers and plants that grow
in Ontario (Canada).
If you're not from Ontario, don't go away! Most of the plants featured on this
website grow elsewhere in eastern North America, and many grow elsewhere in the
world.

Ontario Trees & Shrubs website. For ferns, please visit the
