Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor)
\nSEN\u0106O\u0166EN (Saanich First Nations Language): K\u00c1\u023eE\u023d\u0106 <\/p>\n

Oceanspray (K\u00c1\u023eE\u023d\u0106) is a deciduous shrub that bloom in late spring to early summer with clusters of white flowers, resembling sea foam. It prefers dry, well-drained soils and can often be found in open forests and rocky bluffs. This plant is a valuable resource for pollinators and is host to several species of butterflies, moths and birds. There is cultural significance with the hard wood used for tools, and the bark and leaves having medicinal properties. When K\u00c1\u023eE\u023d\u0106 was in full bloom it was an indicator species as the best time to start fishing for Sockeye Salmon. <\/p>\n
