Happy #CanadaDay! Canada is more than a place—it’s a sense of belonging. Whether you were born here or chose to make it home, today, we celebrate what makes this country special.

Yippy! My wisteria is finally doing what it’s meant to do, after several years of dashed hopes! Smells divine and is beautiful now it’s half covering the pergola. #flower #gardening #GardeningX

FLORAL FIREWORKS
A eucalyptus bud, captured in timelapse, bursts open like a natural firework. Unlike most flowers, these unique blooms have no petals—just fluffy stamens creating the display.

I think my minions are going to need a bigger ladder! 16cm growth in one day - the most I've *ever* grown in 24hrs 🥇🥇🥇

I am seeing a lot of news in the press (at least in Spain) saying that botanists "have decided to get rid of all offensive names on plants". As always some media do not contrast and misinform, this is what has happened. 👇🏻

Do you know what this is? 🤔
This is a soursop fruit (Annona muricata), and it grows in our ENMAX Conservatory! With fleshy green skin covered in spines, it may not look very tasty, but it tastes quite tropical! 🍌🍍🥥🍓

Leagues are where people belong, connect and build a safer city. That’s what Rati and her family have done. We're asking #yegcc to expand our ability to support 162 #CommunityLeagues. Leagues matter. EFCL's support matters.
