Pictured above are ‘Aupaluktunnguat’, in Inuktitut, or 'purple saxifrage' flowers.
They are the official territorial flower of Nunavut & the most northerly flowering plants in the world!
These beautifully resilient & little (1cm wide) flowers pack a whole lot of meaning:
They overcome harsh/long winters, hug the ground, are often the first pop of colour to appear in the Spring,
thus, symbolizing warmer/lighter days ahead, and even continue to flower during the Summer!
I acknowledge, with respect, the
