Nearby a small park is dedicated to Robert Cotton, considered the father of the PEI parks system.
Today was "Hang out your Quilt" day on PEI. People hung out quilts and posted pictures on Facebook. Nancy's display included 2 quilts made by Cathie, and a 100+ year old log cabin quilt made by their grandmother. Their picture received lots of Likes:
In the evening we toured the Government House area. This is where the Lieutenant Governor stays when he is in residence.The grounds are beautifully done, and look over the Charlottetown Harbour:

Mystery plant - any identification opinions?
The above is an invasive plant that is spreading all over the Island. Can anyone identify it? Pat and Nancy have been unable to find out what it is.
Followup: We think it's called "small balsam", according to an free app called iNaturalist, which helps identify plants.
What wonderful time you re enjoying there , love all your pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty there!
Great quilts! Wow ,,,,
Dont know the plant?!
Have fun,,,
Thanks for tour!
A fun-filled day, Cathie and Gord... and MORE fun today!
ReplyDeleteLove the harbour boardwalk pic, it's frame able! For identifying the plant - I've been using an app called Seek by iNaturalist - you can scan plant, aanimals, insects and birds on the spot or load photos, and it will identify them as well as providing some details. Works quite well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Heather. Why the Seek app instead of the full iNaturist app? That seemed to work for me, and is better rated. Dad.
DeleteSorry I can't help you with that plant, but those look like great trees to climb!
ReplyDeleteI Googled invasive plants of PEI; it might be Himalayan Balsam but Heather's idea sounds good. The food pics are fabulous. Pulled pork parfait is such a fun way to serve it.
