I found these pericallis on a mobile gardening prep table that a couple of city workers were using to get them ready for planting in a park flower bed.
They were so beautiful in their colourful profusion.
Happy Flower Friday.

Red Hot Pokers
The hummingbirds and Bullocks oriole share the red hot pokers, but not at the same time. These photos are from another year, as it’s a bit early for…

Another Spring Treat
Pretty and beautifully scented …
… a lovely spring sight.
Happy Tuesday.
Earth Day Wild Flowers
The arrowleaf balsamroot flowers, or as they are locally called, Okanagan sunflowers, are blooming everywhere.
Right now, the bright yellow of their blooms can be found all over hillsides and throughout the pine forests of the Okanagan Valley.
Their profusion is beautiful, but to First Nations, they were an important food source as this plant is completely edible, including its roots. They’re not just a pretty face!
Although they to some extent resemble sunflowers, they look more like yellow daisies and except for the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia and a few other valleys in Washington state, are a relatively rare find, confined as they are in their wild state to certain areas of the west coast of North America.
They won’t last long; in about a week they will start wilting and will disappear until next spring.
Happy Earth Day. 🌎
Flowers on Friday
Azaleas are so lovely …
… but only here for a short time.
Happy Friday. 🌸

Fleurs
Lovely spring flowers are springing up everywhere.
Narcissus in the city parks …
… and heron’s bill in the city parking lots!
It was lovely to see them thriving in every little unpaved spot. Happy Tuesday.
Pretty in Pink
The azaleas are out in beautiful abundance …
… such a lovely spring sight to see.
Happy weekend.
Windy Wednesday
I know it’s supposed to be “Wordless Wednesday,” but when I took these photos the wind definitely had the upper hand over Okanagan Lake.
We had 18C (64F) but with the wind coming straight out of the north there was a bit of a cool edge. I was glad I had my windbreaker.
This section of beach is set aside for dogs. This one was really enjoying his soft frisbee and how far the wind would take it. Doggie heaven for sure!
The azaleas are blooming but the wind was blowing so hard that I had trouble getting a click.
A few metres away from the lake it was much warmer and the wind was much tamer. Spring does have its quirks but it’s beautiful nonetheless.
Happy Wednesday.
Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!
These beautiful pink azaleas are about to burst!
One or two more days and they will be out …
… their pretty frilliness on display for everyone to enjoy.
The rhododendrons aren’t far behind …
… but these lovely blue periwinkles are already here.
Happy Tuesday. 💐
