The Greenhouse at Centennial Park is Open Again

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…with a few COVID precautions in place

It was wonderful to be able to walk through the greenhouse again and take in all the beautiful flowers. Right now Poinsettias are the feature flower in honour of the Christmas season. As you walk in you are greeted by a maiden of succulents and as you exit there is a second maiden all decked out in succulents.

The greenhouse on the north side is where the poinsettia display is housed. There are so many wonderful varieties and colours and in between there are whimsical birdhouses.

New Flower (March 19, 2020) – Another Mystery Flower

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…another flower that I saw at the Centennial Conservatory and have no idea what it is

The flower is similar to St. John’s Wort but I’ve not seen it clustered like this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone out there have any ideas what this is?

Sunday Trees – 435

Posted on March 15, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees

One of the things that I can probably do during this Covid-19 shut down is get out to the parks and walk around and take photos of trees. None of them will have their leaves yet but the bones of winter trees always make for interesting photographs. This one was taken a few weeks ago.

…thanks to Jude for hosting the 2020 Photo Challenge

This week’s assignment is to play with angles as you focus on the texture.

New Flower (March 15, 2020) – Green Pinwheel Aeonium

Posted on March 15, 2020 by Mama Cormier

I’m running out of flower photos. Not sure how much longer I can run my New Flower posts. Even the conservatory where I’ve photographed many of my recent flowers has shut down for at least three weeks because of Covid-19.
