Saskatchewan's official tartan has seven colours. The gold is for prairie wheat; brown for the summerfallow; green for the forests; red for the provincial flower (Western prairie lily); yellow for rapeseed flower & sun flower; white for snow; and black for oil & coal. Summerfallow is a practice used to conserve soil moisture and consists of leaving land fallow over a growing season, keeping it free of vegetation for 18-20 months. It has been used in the Canadian Prairies for over a century. ________________________ #tartan #scottishcanadian #canadatravel #fashion #canada🇨🇦 #saskatchewan #tartantuesday
