On my October 5th wild flower walks in the Hamilton area, I walked in the Royal Botanical Garden's Arboretum "wild" trails and along the Hamilton Waterfront Trail near Princess Point. During the walk I found 71 wild flowers in bloom and was able to identify 70 or them. The one that I could not identify was growing in the middle of a patch of Poison Ivy. It looked like a polygonum of some sort but it did not match any of the plants in my book.
Following are some of the plants that I photographed:
Calico Aster
Aster Latériflore
(Symphyotrichum lateriflorum)
New England Aster with close up lens
Aster de Nouvelle-Angleterre
(Symphyotrichum novae-angliae)
Wild Chicory
Chicorée Sauvage
(Cichorium intybus)
Indian Tobacco
Lobélie Gonflée
(Lobelia inflata)
Jimsonweed
Stramoine Commune
(Datura stramonium)
Jerusalem Artichoke
Topinambur
(Helianthus tuberosus)
