During my walk yesterday in Blackie Spit Park, Crescent Beach, BC 1) Blanket Flower 2) Wild Radish 3) Douglas Aster Thanks!
Yes, it appears you have them correctly identified. A (perhaps) interesting sidenote, as I grew up in Crescent Beach and used Blackie Spit as a giant sandbox (pre park): many of the cultivated flowers you've posted were planted over the course of several years by a woman named Mona (now deceased), who scattered various seeds around the spit. When it became a park, an effort was made to remove these 'exotic' species, and 'native' plants were substituted...most of these promptly died. Nice to see some of Mona's efforts persist.
I went for a nature walk with local resident Steve Chitty (sp) in May. He pointed out a number of trees etc planted by Mona. Includes a row of now very tall poplars at the entrance to Dunsmuir Community Garden. thanks for your input
