Well I sure got a geography lesson and I'm sure glad I did. I wonder why I never looked into this before. Now I could have learned this way back in primary school, but that was a long time ago and it's just not something I would remember then.
Hope you all enjoyed your lesson today too.
Happy Gardening
I do remember learning this in school, but that was a long time ago. I had forgotten some of them, so thank you for reminding me. The trilliums are very beautiful when in full flower.
ReplyDeleteAll pretty flowers. I think most of us in the U.S. need frequent geography lessons!
ReplyDeleteThankfully in the UK we only had to remember England, Scotland, Wales and NIreland national flowers for Brownies and GirlGuides.
ReplyDeleteI've never grown a trillium yet in my garden.
In Colorado it's the Columbine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and interesting post!! Love seeing all of the provincial flowers, fantastic idea to put them all together. :)
