Exploring Spring Flora at Our Retirement Residence
Spring is a time for nature to be renewed. As such, you can expect a vast amount of flora to begin to sprout. Residents of retirement communities love to watch the buds bloom and the leaves on the trees reappear.
Native and non-native species of plants and flowers adorn the beautiful landscapes of our province. Here are some examples of the spring flora you can expect to see:
1. Trilliums
These are very common in the province. So common that it is the provincial flower of Ontario. Trilliums have several varieties, all native to the province. View these on wooded trails, as well as at local parks.
One of the best places to catch these flowers is Trillium Woods Park.
2. Tulips
Tulips are not native to Canada. However, it has become a prominent spring flower. In the Capital Region alone, there are close to a million tulips that grow in different parks and gardens.
Tulips are typically in full bloom by May. This is also when the Canadian Tulip Festival is celebrated. Every year, in Ottawa, thousands come to visit different tulip parks and farms.
3. Various Wildflowers
Did you know that there are over a hundred wildflowers that bloom in the province every spring? From mid-March to mid-June, you will see these flowers not just in parks but you may also see them within the grounds and in the neighborhood of your retirement residence.
Wildflowers can be a great addition to your garden. They are easy to take care of. Also, these native plants attract native pollinators that are essential to the environment.
