News compilation for the week ending May 20, 2012

What news was reported on during the week ending May 20?

Here's what was compiled from the Surrey B.C. news source compilation: news, civic and blogging sources from and about Surrey, B.C. Canada. There's also a Google News Alert feed in there too. This list is truncated to a maximum of 5 articles per source. Some sources don't publish very often. This process takes the last articles. I try to remove duplicates, but there may be some cross-over from previous weeks' compilations.

Pacific bleeding hearts

No, they're not left-wing namby-pambies munching soy-flavoured lecithin. Pacific bleeding hearts are a flower native to this area and in bloom right now.

Dicentra formosa are about a foot tall. I usually see them in the forested areas in Surrey parks where some light gets through.

The plant grows from a rhizome, is a perennial, and apparently will also bloom in the Fall. More about this plant on Wikipedia.
