Nunavut is the largest and newest federal territory of Canada

The official flower of Nunavut is the Purple saxifrage flower.

It is a pretty flowering plant that grows all over the high Arctic and is a good source of vitamins and one of the first plants the Inuit can eat in the spring. Good in salads and a sweet tea can be made from the leaves.

Know as aupilaktunnquaq, after months of snow and very little greenery it is a welcome sight and addition to the diet.
