There's a new water flow management system just by Dunsmuir Community Garden in Crescent Beach BC. On the new levee there are these flowers which were planted by enthusiasts or others and I was wondering if someone could ID them for me 1&2 - probably the same flower at different stages (?)
Silene armeria Candytuft, annual Iberis. Scarlet flax, Linum grandiflorum. Clarkia amoena. Linaria. None are "wildlfowers", that is, native plants.
Clarkia amoena (Farewell to Spring) is listed as native on this site http://www.pnwflowers.com/flower/clarkia-amoena
Wikipedia also says that Clarkia amoena is native to western NA including BC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkia_amoena.

Notice that at the last link the "HABITAT/RANGE" given is "Dry grassy areas in the lowland zone; infrequent on S Vancouver Island and the adjacent Gulf Islands; S to CA".
