Marigold In Moss
It amazes me that this same species can be found in so many different places - how could this plant get from one mountain to another, let alone from the mainland to Vancouver Island. Species: Caltha leptosepala (White Marsh Marigold)

Marsh Marigolds In Grasses
I believe this is Marsh Marigold - Caltha biflora. This plant seems to love the water - I only found it in very boggy bits where snow pack or a small stream kept the ground saturated. Species: Caltha leptosepala (White Marsh Marigold)

Canadian Dogwood
Or Cornus canadensis to closer friends. The white parts (pedals to those not in the know) are actually bracts modified leaves. The flowers are the tiny green things in the very center that I didn't get close enough to see. Species: Cornus canadensis (Canadian Dogwood, Canadian bunchberry)

Juvenile Golden-Crowned Kinglet
The Juvenile's do look quite different from the mature examples. This bird was gleening as part of a larger flock. By the time I got my camera on a tripod, the flock had mostly moved on. I have another photo with a better view of the wing bars. Tags: Mount Washington
Species: Regulus satrapa (Golden-crowned Kinglet)

Frosty Drummonds Cinquefoil
Love it when the species is actually a "species complex". Thistle is another example - many look similar and might be hybrids. Tags: Mount Washington

Great Burnet With Butterfly
The flower is quite striking. The butterfly was a nice touch. I thought this was a European Skipper at the time, but it quite clearly isn't. Species: Sanguisorba officinalis (Great Burnet, official burnet), Lycaena mariposa (Mariposa Copper)

Slender Bog Orchid
This is quite distinct from the white Bog Orchid which was growing close by. The flowers are very green and the stalk was taller. Tags: Mount Washington
Species: Platanthera stricta (slender bog orchid)

Canadian Burnet
At first I thought this was bear grass but as I got closer I realized it was something different. I needed to ask the UBC Botanical Garden Forum to figure out what it is. Tags: Mount Washington

Pacific Fritillary On Sitka Valerian
I've been having a lot of trouble taking photos of butterflies recently - they just don't stop moving. This one did so I took lots of photos. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2025 to 2005 > June 2015 > Pacific Fritillary On Sitka Valerian
