Canada does not have a national Flower. Maple leaf is not to be considered as Canadas flower or tree. It is the common National emblem and used in flags, curranceis etc. -

National symbols of Canada are the symbols that are used in Canada and abroad to represent the country and its people. Prominently, the use of the maple leaf as a Canadian symbol dates back to the early 18th century, and is depicted on its current and previous flags, the penny, and on the coat of arms (or royal arms).

The Crown symbolizes the Canadian monarchy, and appears on the coat of arms (used by parliamentarians and government ministries), the flag of the Governor General, the coats of arms of many provinces and territories; the badges of the Canadian Forces, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), many regiments, and other police forces; on buildings, as well as some highway signs and licence plates. Also, the Queen's image appears in Canadian government buildings, military installations and schools; and on Canadian stamps, $20 bank notes, and all coins.

Canada is known for its vast forests and mountain ranges and the animals that reside within them, such as moose, beaver, caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, Canada goose, and the common loon. The beaver's emblematic status originated from the fact much of Canada's early economic history was tied to the fur trade in beaver fur, used to make hats fashionable in Europe. Other products made from the country's natural resources, such as maple syrup, are also associated with Canadian identity.

Additional national symbols include the RCMP and anything pertaining to ice hockey, Canada's official winter sport, which is often used as a national symbol of unity and pride.

In recent years, other symbols have become a source of pride: notably, the I am Canadian campaign by Molson beer, most notably the commercial featuring Joe Canada, infused home-grown beer with nationalism. (Molson later merged with an American beer company, Coors.) The Canadian fashion retailer Roots sells a variety of merchandise designed to evoke nationalistic sentiment.

Canada isn't a state, it's a country located just North of the US. The national flora is the maple leaf; we have no specific flower.
Each province/territory in Canada has its own flower.
Ontario: White trillium
Quebec: Blue flag iris
Manitoba: Prairie crocus
Alberta: Wild rose
Saskatchewan: Western Red Lily
British Columbia: Pacific Dogwood
Newfoundland: Purple Pitcher Plant
Prince Edward Island: Pink Lady's Slipper

Canada isn't a state, it is a country that consists of provinces and territories. The only provincial flower I know is Dogwood for British Columbia.
