Abstract
This essay examines ways in which Catharine Parr Traill’s references to plants reveal her personal, philosophical, cultural, social, and moral views, while conveying her own conscious and unconscious feelings about the conflict involved in her position as a colonizing and colonized woman in the Canadian landscape. Traill’s references are introduced and contextualized through a discussion of examples of the plants and flowers described and used by the other “bush ladies”: Anna Jameson, Susanna Moodie, and Anne Langton.
