This page lists the wildflowers I have identified in the area around my cottage in Val-des-Monts in the Gatineau region of Quebec. Click on any to see pictures I've taken and comments. Expect a delay for your first choice to load but not subsequent clicks.
Photos are best seen on a mobile device but much better ones can be seen through the link provided for most species.
My recommended guidebook for wildflowers is Peterson's Wildflowers Northeastern/North-central North America. As a second reference I use Newcomb's Wildflower Guide.
Meanings of the Latin names are taken in almost all cases from: "California Plant Names: Latin and Greek Meanings and Derivations" by Michael L Charters.
