I recently visited the historic city of New Westminster and walked along the pier that follows the delta of the Fraser river. This area of the city is relatively new in comparison to the downtown district on the other side of the tracks. It's a long stroll down the river, which is why I decided to write three parts about this riverside hike. In the first part, I wrote about the history and showed some of the sights along the boardwalk. In this second part, I focus on the different plants that are found along the way. I thought this fine community would appreciate the horticultural mix.
The pier is well maintained and adorned with some nice gardens with exotic species. I'm not familiar with the plants shown, so there isn't much I can say about them, except that they're fascinating and beautiful. If you recognize any of them, I'd appreciate it if you let me know. Enjoy the tour!
