I spotted these guys on a hike recently in the mountains north of Vancouver, and was wondering if anyone could identify any of them. They were very near the summit of the mountain in rocky terrain with spots of gnarled tough trees. This would have been ~1600m. Thanks for any help you can give! :)
I am not very experienced with B. C. wildflowers but I'd just like to try to suggest some species, from left to right, top row first: Davidson's penstemon (Penstemon davidsonii) some kind of lupine, possibly Lupinus arcticus Pink mountain heath (Phyllodoce empetriformis) fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium)
Thanks a lot for your assistance. After looking up the species you named, I agree fully with all but the possible lupine. The flowers seem much sparser on it, though they do look like a similar type, then in any pictures I can find online. The other ones in the area looked very similar to that one as well.
Definately a lupine based on foliage. Could be any of a number - perhaps lower flower petals have dropped, giving a sparser look.
