(ADAM PROSKIW / iNFOnews.ca) April 18, 2021 - 8:00 AM It is such a prolific and popular plant in the region, it’s become the City of Kelowna’s official flower. We’re talking about the Arrowleaf Balsamroot, sometimes more familiarly known locally as the Okanagan sunflower. “Okanagan Sunflowers” is an acrylic on canvas painting of the Arrowleaf Balsamroot by local artist Jo Scott-B. Local wild food forager Scott Moran calls it “a lovely flower that comes up super early around here.” You can find the bright yellow flowers popping up throughout the Thompson and Okanagan. They are a plant that is commonly found throughout the North American west, with flowers about the size of a small fist emerging in this region around the beginning of April.

Once again our community has turned out to help those who are struggling to stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic.
Danielle Wenlock from Therfield, a local independent organiser for publisher Usborne, caught the helping bug after she did some fundraising in order to donate over £400 worth of books to a preschool and primary school.
This enabled Therfield First School and Therfield PreSchool to get over 100 books for pupils most in need.

She said: I only joined Usborne in September and I began to realise how expensive books were and how many were struggling getting them.
