Our Epic Northwestern Journey – Part 19 – Look At All The Pretty Flowers

After our train ride, and an ice cream/wine break, we headed up to the Summerland Research and Developmental Centre, to look at all the pretty flowers and spectacular views of the area. All I can say is WOW!!!! There were so many beautiful flowers and irises of all colors and varieties.

The Summerland Research and Development Centre (Summerland RDC) was established in 1914 in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. It is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) network of 20 research and development centers. 

I don’t think I have ever seen such a large variety of irises. I took SO many pictures. I was completely awestruck. I won’t show ALL of the pictures though, but I will try to show you a lot of the different varietals. If you like flowers, and particularly irises, you may just have to take a trip up there to see them all for yourself. 🙂

Irises weren’t the only beautiful flowers featured though. There were so many other beautiful and colorful flowers that decorated the gardens as well.

There was also a fairy garden and beautiful sculptures too.

There were even bat house for the little bats in the area. Maybe the bats are what help keep the gardens looking so beautiful.

We had a beautiful, fun-filled day. We saw and did so much. This whole area is just amazing. I think I could easily live up there. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Take in everything you can and see the best in everything. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
