On a walk along the Trans-Canada Trail near Waverley today we noticed 
many clumps of Ragged Robin in bloom. This is a very pretty pink flower 
in the, er, Pink family. According to Roland's Flora of Nova Scotia, 
Waverley is one of several isolated locations for this species, with 
other records coming from King's County where it is more common.

If anyone is interested in looking for it, we saw it on the trail loop 
called Vivien's Way. The closest entrance is where the 107 crosses the 
Waverley Road. Vivien's Way is marked by a sign.
