Tuesday, June 26, 2018, 5:03 AM - Summer is here, and that means provincial flowers are blooming from coast to coast. Do you know your provincial flower?

Canada's national emblem - the Maple Leaf - is also making an appearance across parts of the country.

Here's a breakdown of the country's provincial flowers, from coast-to-coast.

Which one is your favourite?

 
 

FLOWERS FROM COAST TO COAST

British Columbia

Pacific Dogwood has represented B.C. since 1956. April is peak season for this cheerful flower, which thrives when the weather is soggy.

 
 

Alberta

The Wild Rose became Alberta's provincial emblem in 1930 after it was selected by a group of school children. Found across the country, wild roses can expect to make their annual appearance in late spring and early summer.

 
 

Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan made the Western Red Lily its flower of choice in 1941. Typically found in meadows, forests and other damp, wooded areas, it has become a rare sight in the province due to urban sprawl and forest fires. Researchers are working to increase the germination of this protected species.

 
 

Manitoba

The Prairie Crocus has been Manitoba’s flower for more than a century. Weather Network viewers have seen these flowers slowly starting to bud in parts of western Canada.

 
 

Ontario

Communities across Ontario usually start sporting Trilliums in early April. If April showers remain consistent, the flowers will do well this year.

 
 

Quebec

Officially adopted as Quebec's provincial flower in 1999, the Blue Flag Iris is found between the St. Lawrence Valley and the James Bay shore. They'll be dotting green spaces with their indigo petals in a few weeks' time.
