    Went hiking along the ridge to Flute Summit at the top of Whistler Mtn. yesterday. It's a glorious walk during sunny September weather by the way.

    Spied these Alpine flowers at 2000 meters.

    Can anyone help identify them? I think the first is an Arctic Lupine

    #3 screams "Clematis seedheads" at me....
    #4 closely resembles Helianthus tuberosum, or Sunchokes.
