What Canadian province has the White Trillium as its official floral emblem

I remember that on a trip to Toronto, Ont. 25 years ago, the tour guide talked about the naming of their stadium, one of names in the running was the "Trillium Dome". It was to have a retractable roof and the Lego model of it opened and shut! It actually got named "Sky Dome" and is now the Rogers Center home of the Blue Jays. The roof still retracts.

I'm liking these horticultural trivia questions -- even if I'm answering incorrectly.

Made a wild guess as I didn't even know what a White Trillium was ....LOL!

I guessed right!

Got it. Found this interesting list of floral emblems for various countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_emblem , some of which I wasn't expecting.

I guessed and missed it but learned something new. Love those white trilliums. Interesting link, growin.

I voted correctly, yay!...I cheated.

I googled first!!!

I guessed Ontario because I live in Minnesota and Trilliiums are all over in the woods here. (Ontario is just north of MN).

I cheated. I looked it up.

Shiela_FW. What a tradegy never to have seen a white trillium. They don't grow here in Alabama either. But I remember them from our woods back home in N. Michigan: white trilliums and a few red one's also--along with mayflowers, dutchman's britches are the wild wood flowers of spring in the northern forest.

I knew (however I am Canadian). Now if it had been one of the Maritime provinces I'm not so sure I would have gotten it right.

I didn't cheat but I grew up in ON. :)

kooger, I got a kick out of your avatar. :-)

Thanks! Grew up on a dairy farm but we didn't have boots this pretty. ^_^

That's rich. And I'm sure the dairy boots were too...in manure, that is.
