You are probably correct. They look similar, but the leaves were the differentiating detail that I missed.

Good call!

As do I. This is one I actually knew for a change, from my hiking days in the Olympics back in college. I just didn’t feel like flashing around all my arcane knowledge

Good question, Steve. Rachael and I have been discussing this over breakfast, and many things come to mind. I think I’ll write a conclusions page after all, and talk about it there instead of here. Stay tuned.

I'm pretty sure this is the ubiquitous spotted knapweed, Centaurea maculosa. Ask me how familiar I am with this plant? FAR TOO familiar.

I look at the lack of shoulder here, and possible short sight lines, and feel nervous. Though I live in BC I now have far more experience in France. There, a shoulderless road could be totally quiet and empty, narrow, almost like a bike path, or it could have cars coming both ways, suicidally swinging around you. What was your general feeling about the safety of the BC roads?

Looks like what we call Canada thistle around here. Introduced from Europe, and an invasive pest.

When I was a kid, we drove to Creston every fall and got about 50 boxes of Kootenay apples to get us through the winter (8 kids in our family, lots of apples needed).

Yup, I recognized it instantly, having lived in the desert for my growing up years, travelling many miles on dirt roads where it is very common... Not sure, but the scientific name might be Clumpus dustaceous...
