My last day in Montreal (until July!). For all you Montrealers out there, go and find the flowers!!! The hint: Mont Royal. They're beautiful. The white ones are trilliums (the flower of Ontario...how ironic?!). I've only seen one red trillium. Tell me if you find others. Enjoy the summer...and see you soon.

Yeah, so they are Trilliums (trillia?) There are tons of them around Buck Lake, in Ontario where Anna's folks live. Anna and Sean filled me in about their significance. They're far from endangered or rare (unlike the Wild Rose in Alberta) but nonetheless it appears to be illegal to pick them; perhaps that's like stomping or disrespecting the flag.
They're starting to disappear from the mountain now, as the other undergrowth and the trees get denser. I'll have a camera on the mountain tomorrow and fill you in better.
