Wild Strawberry Blossoms

A close-up of the pinkish white blossom of a strawberry plant growing wild in the woods of Lynde Shores Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

Taken in late spring, May, 2009.

This particular plant appears to be of The Virginia Strawberry species.

The Virginia Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), is one of two species of strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern domesticated Garden Strawberry. Its natural range is confined to North America, in the United States (including Alaska) and Canada.

It is also sometimes called “Wild Strawberry”, though this can also refer to several other species.
