    These were photographed a couple days ago up a logging road near Nakusp, BC.

    Can anyone identify them for me? Thank you!

    2 and 4 sure look Prunus-like to me. 2 is possibly Prunus emarginata, 4 is possibly Prunus pensylvanica.

    Agree on other IDs so far.

    For 3, I've always assumed this to be the first year growth of something biennial, though I don't know what it is.

    Well, it is beautiful stuff, think it's one of my favorite wildflowers.

    This particular one was photographed on the Monashee Highway if that helps with an ID!
