One of the things I love about Newfoundland is how close you can be
to wild-growing plants in their natural habitats, even if you live downtown
in the province's largest city. A five-minute walk from the commercial
heart of the province I found an abundance of Newfoundland's most common
native wildflowers and shrubs. I also got a taste of common Newfoundland
weather - an hour and a half saw the weather switch from warm and sunny to
drizzly and foggy and back again. On a day trip to the southern shore,
meanwhile, the sky was clear and blue when we set out, but by the end of our
afternoon walk to an abandoned lighthouse, the sky had turned foggy grey and
the coastal winds almost blew us over.
