Led by Shirley Cole and Clyde Burton, six people enjoyed the sunshine after the previous day’s big storm.
Rod Innes took us to see the white fawn lilies at Sliammon and we then proceeded on to Dinner Rock where we picked up Walter Kubany and looked at shooting stars, blue-eyed Mary, two kinds of monkey flower, pink sea blush, parsley and liquorice ferns and other floral beauties. The chocolate lilies will be out in another ten days. Up Malaspina Road we found calypso orchids still in bud and estimated that another week or so would see them in bloom.
