Trillium delirium

[snopes]

Ask an Ontario resident the name of the province's official flower, and a good number will answer correctly: the trillium. Ask whether it is legal to pick or transplant trilliums and a good number will likely answer incorrectly.

Many Ontario residents have long believed that the white spring-blooming flowers are protected by law. But that turns out to be a bit of an urban myth. Some trilliums, known in Latin as the Trillium grandiflorum, are protected, but only those growing on property owned by conservation areas or in provincial parks.

We have trilliums in our backyard, but Daddy-O saved them from a site where they were about to put houses, so we always figured even if it was true we had the moral high ground.
