Wild Flowers of Haida Gwaii

14 Comments

I loved seeing all the wild flowers everywhere on Haida Gwaii – a beautiful bounty.

Wild morning glories. These were growing next to a vegetable garden fence, but we saw them everywhere, even in the forest. These are not bindweed, an invasive plant that looks like morning glory.
Crane’s Bill. Very, very tiny blooms. I found these growing next to a beach.
Wild pea.
Alberta wild rose.
Wild foxglove. These are everywhere too, in forests and next to beaches and roads.
Cloudberry flowers. There are huge numbers of these growing all over. Some of the fruit are already very ripe.
Nope, this isn’t a wild flower, but I thought I would add a picture of a cloudberry. Very sweet with tangy overtones.
Buttercups are so bright and pretty!
And my favourite, daisies.

We also saw many, many bees on Haida Gwaii. Their numbers have been dropping in lots of places so it was fantastic to see them thriving.

Happy Wednesday.
