Spring Flowers in Canada

Posted by Chloë Ernst Mar 23, 2009

This past weekend on a Saturday afternoon drive, some friends took me to a wonderful display of white and purple crocuses on Vancouver's Angus Drive. In front of one of the large Shaughnessy homes, some diligent gardener has planted a carpet of spring flowers. The sunny day and warming weather meant the crocuses looked wonderful.

Spring is an amazing season in Canada, where we emerge from a gray and snowy winter to delight in the brightness and longer-days of spring.

Here in Vancouver we're avidly awaiting the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, and in Ottawa, the Canadian Tulip Festival delivers a showy display of blooms.

Anyone know of any other fabulous floral festivals in Canada?

If so, send me an email.
