(Trilliium grandiflorum) Ontario chose the trillium as its provincial flower in 1937. This white flower grows in the forest in the springtime. It is called the trillium because it has three petals and three leaves. The “tri-“ part of trillium means three.
The trillium is also the logo of the Ontario government. Its white blossom is associated with peace and hope.
Did you know?
Trilliums are sometimes called “Wake Robins” because they appear at the same time robins return for spring.
