Pretty in pink
There was no sign giving the name of this beautiful tropical flower in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Think I've posted a photo of this plant species before, so will check later, when I get back home. Taken on 9 April 2013. I think this is called Adenium.
"Adenium obesum is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to the Sahel regions, south of the Sahara (from Mauritania and Senegal to Sudan), and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia. Common names include Sabi star, kudu, mock azalea, impala lily and desert rose." From Wikipedia.

It started to snow when I was out on a walk all morning at Carburn Park, and it's still snowing, just lightly at the moment. It was cold, with an icy wind, especially while we were walking along the edge of the Bow River. This afternoon, it's 0C (windchill -7C) and there is s spring snow storm in effect. Snow for tomorrow, too - it will be Tuesday before we see any sun again. Can't wait!
