Comment
Strength and beauty underfootIf you’ve ever hiked the mountains of western Canada, chances are your path was lined with roses; the tiny white and yellow flowers that carpeted the landscape as far as the eye could see.
The mountain avens is a dwarf member of the rose family that grows at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere in Canada, the Alps and the Arctic. Its genus was inspired by the Greek oak-nymph (Dryas) to reflect the oak-like shape of its leaves.
Dryas integrifolia is a particularly hardy species that was declared the official floral emblem of the Northwest Territories in 1957. Its short woodystems support individual flowers that spring into bloom as soon as the snow melts. They are heliotropic, following the sun’s path across the sky to absorb maximum solar energy, an ingenious design to ensure this delicate, yet hardy rose thrives in its challenging clime.
Interesting fact
The Elizabeth II (Mountain Avens) coin is a non-circulating coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2011. One interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of 99.999% pure gold, which is a higher purity level than most other gold coins. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item for numismatists and gold investors.
