The Sunday Schnauzer – More Spring Flowers

On By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer

We had a rainy walk recently, and the conditions were perfect for taking pictures of the flowering plants and bushes we encountered.

A soggy but happy Bowser indulging my stopping to take photos.
Saskatoon Berry flowers.
The highly invasive Scotch Broom is flowering and turning the whole island yellow. You will see it sneaking into a lot of the following photos.
Here is another variant of the Scotch Broom flower.
It’s EVERYWHERE.
Lupin (and Scotch Broom)

Native Blackberry vine.
Nootka Rose (and…sigh…Scotch Broom)
Thimbleberry (AND SCOTCH BROOM!)
Close up of Thimbleberry flower (and…argh…Scotch Broom).
Still my favourite of all the flowers! And NO Scotch Broom in the background 😏.

I am currently camping with Retirement Reflections and will have little to no internet/cell service, so pardon me for being tardy in responding to your always lovely comments! I will, as soon as I am able.

Have a great Sunday!

Elbows up,

The WB

    Hi Deb – yes the broom came in via Hawaii, I gather, on one of the exploration routes when the western side of America was being opened up … particularly Vancouver and Victoria – I love it … but it’s native here! So many invasive plants brought in via explorers and plant lovers of the past – lots here too. Just enjoy that peace away … camping in the great outdoors – hope the sun doth shine! Cheers Hilary

  2. Love the thimbleberry!
    I’m always interested in your native blooms, so different from ours. I can see how invasive the broom is, but the orange and yellow variety is quite stunning.
    As is Sir Bowser of course…
    😉
