Thanks for the picture and ruling out H. mollis. I'm thinking this probably is a wild form of the common sunflower, as my botanist friend suggested.

OK.. lots of your suggestions have been confirmed! I updated the photos with names that have been verified. I do think that #6 is a Elaeagnus, but trying to narrow down what kind is difficult. The berry pattern doesn't match the few pictures I've been able to find so far, but it definately has the "scales". Hmm.. it should be flowering soon (which I didn't notice last year). So I'll keep a close eye out if I don't have a definate answer before then. Wow.. #13 is a solidago, and #12 is an aster, but I had NO idea there were so many types of each! There are tons of other asters, in a variety of shapes and colors, on the property that I don't have pics. of yet. Not sure about #10... it DID remind me of Oenothera when I first saw it.. I'm gonna look through some more photos. So far: 1. black swallowwort (invasive) 2. 3. 4. 5. Bedstraw; gallium 6. 7. Penstemon digitalis 8. Stout blue-eyed grass 9. Boneset (aster) (solidago) Swamp vervain; verbena hastata Northern bugleweed; lycopus uniflora Jewelweed or Spotted Touch-me-nots; Impatiens capensis Nodding lady's tresses; spiranthes cernua Nodding smartweed; polygonum Devil's beggartick; Bidens frondosa

Thanks all. The Wallowas are definitely worth a trip if you have the legs for it. They are generally regarded as a “backpack only” range because the trailhead parking is at least 3 miles from any real views and about 7 miles from the top of anything. There were a ton of plants that I didn’t take pictures of, mostly because I was hiking with a normal person and slowing down to take yet another picture of some small yellow thing wasn’t her MO. If I was there 3 weeks ago, vast stretches of boggy heath would have turned the meadows pink.

That's it! Just have my western wildflower guide to work with.
