Canadian Provincial / Territorial Flowers
The official floral emblems of Canada
I’m excited to share that I am starting a new collection of the Western Provincial/Territorial flowers!
Welcome to my new collection, a project to seek out and paint the provincial floral emblems of Canada. It will take me a couple of years to find the specimens I need, and to create finished paintings.
Some day I'll do the Eastern provincial flowers too, but I'm starting with the ones closer by.
The western provincial/territorial flowers are:
British Columbia: Pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttallii)
Alberta: Wild rose (Rosa acicularis)
Saskatchewan: Western Red Lily (Lilium philadelphicum)
Manitoba: prairie crocus (Pulsatilla ludoviciana)
Northwest Territories:Mountain Avens (Dryas octopetala)
Yukon: Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium)
