Our provincial flower, the trailing arbutus, known as the Mayflower, is one of the first signs of spring in Nova Scotia. From mid April to mid May, we go hunting for the delicate pink waxy flowers. They are found close to the ground on woody stems, hiding beneath heart-shaped evergreen leaves. Carefully picked and brought indoors, the flowers are extremely fragrant - truly a breath of Spring! Nova Scotia was the the first of Canada’s provinces to adopt a provincial flower. |
