Black cottonwood
Populus ( i suspect it is P. trichocarpus)
'mother tree'
probably Rumex obtusiflolius
which growing here in the disturbed soil, again turns out to be an introduced species to BC
I was just listening a radio interview this morning.

I did not read the book yet, but it sounds wonderful.
Epilobium
I assume it is Epilobium brachycarpum
It is related to Xektnalhp, Fireweed (Chamaererion angustifolium)
and seems to be a pioneer species like fireweed. Growing in the disturbed area, i wonder if it is blown in or naturally occuring there when things are opened up.
Nevertheless i think it is wonderful to have an 'upon a pod' in ones garden
I assume they are all edible.
Blackcap
Rubus leucodermis
not sure about the species.
I did learn that is a delicious berry, but very fragile. I do not know it.
But when googling it i cam upon this group of people
Stepping on to the lot in september this aster was blooming on the excavated gravelly strip close to the road. Many plants were growing there, many native ones, but probably as many introduced species. I have no idea if this aster is native, i do not even know which genus it is in.
