Today our pictures show the Chrysanthemum display at the Niagara Showcase Greenhouses. It is a popular festival every year throughout the world. Longwood Gardens has the thousand flower tree display right now. Japan has Chrysanthemum Day - one of five ancient sacred festivals. Korea, Germany, China, and more have displays where Chrysanthemums are used in mosaic culture displays.
The Niagara Parks display always has a Romantic section with pinks, purples and whites, and a contrasting primary colour display section.
This is The Comfort Maple. It is located in Pelham, near us. I saw it on the weekend. It is estimated to be one of the oldest sugar maple trees in Canada at about 500 years old. It is 80 feet tall with a trunk that is 20 feet in circumference at the base. It even has some brick work repair due to at least one lightning strike.
If you want to know the oldest trees in Ontario, they are listed HERE - the site is Ancient Forest Exploration & Research and one can see a map of old-growth forests in Ontario. There is an old growth forest at Ball's Fall's in the Twenty Valley, at Decew Falls and the Niagara Gorge, The Niagara Glen, Paradise Grove in Niagara-on-the-Lake and a few more areas in Niagara.
Even with a wide angle lens and 9 images to make a vertical panorama, the tree evaded full capture on the weekend.
