Wildflowers of New England

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many species of wildflowers are native to New England. There are four important community types which show considerable diversity and blending across this United States physiographic region. These are: alpine, coniferous forests, northern hardwood forests, and wetlands. Wetlands may be further subdivided into bogs, swamps, and bottomlands. This article lists some of these Wildflowers of New England and references sites for further research.
