I’m a Fan of…..Centennial Park Conservatory

Now that spring has arrived the Centennial Park Conservatory staff have created a wonderful new display of the most glorious spring flowers. The first thing that hits you before you even enter the room is the perfume smell from those beautiful flowers. The feature room changes at least five times a year if not more often. It’s well worth the visit if you live in Toronto or close by.

On my walk today, it was very overcast but I still love the beauty in these dried leaves, milk weed pods and vines.

New Flower (February 26, 2023) – Giant Bird of Paradise

Posted on February 26, 2023 by Mama Cormier

…much less common and far bigger than normal Birds of Paradise

Found this beauty at the Centennial Park Conservatory. The horticulturists had to clear away a lot of the surrounding foliage so that you could see this rare plant. It’s not as colourful as Birds of Paradise that we’re used to seeing in bouquets but it’s about 4 times bigger.
