Hi everyone, Can anyone identify the following plants? They were all found in the trails of Burnaby Mountain, and have all become noticeable since early May. Pictures 1-2-3: These have a very distinct leaf arrangement, and are starting to cover more and more ground. Pictures 4-5: At first I thought these were rough-fruited fairybells (Prosartes trachycarpa), but the stripes and the way the leaves are pierced by the stems made me think maybe it's something different. Pictures 6-7: I only saw two of these plants, they seem pretty isolated. Picture 8: Another isolated looking plant. Thank you very much! Jason
Otherwise we might be seeing Boykinia, if not some other saxifrage family plant. The last is a huckleberry.
I see my strategy of being wrong on recent identifications to get others to correct me is working. Yes, I hadn't considered that - I should go spend some time with that plant.
