We are enjoying seeing more flowers and wildflowers in
Canada. Orange Day Lilies, Daisys and
Queen Anne's Lace fight for space with wild roses and Fireweed in roadside
ditches. The Lupines are almost done but their furry purple seed pods are
everywhere. Wild Sweet Pea with its
purple grapelike flowers vines around everything . St Johnswort
pops it sunny yellow flowers up in the mosy unexpected rocky
places. Thistle is in full purple bloom. It is so appropriate
for Nova Scotia and even appears on the provinces Coat of Arms. I have never seen Yarrow in anything but white,
pink or yellow. Here it is pale purple. There are many that I don't recognize.
The flowers seem to thrive in the coastal air. I wonder if
it is because of the fog that rolls in every evening and burns off mid
morning. Do they enjoy that moisture after a day in the sun
and wind?
Here are some of the flowers we have been seeing on our daily walks.
