First photo - hybrid manzanita flowers
Second & third photos - x media hybrid on the left and top (with brighter green leaves) next to uva-ursi at the bottom (with darker & shinier leaves). The uva-ursi has its own observation here
Fourth photo - x media at the top (lighter green leaves), uva-ursi at the bottom, and a few branches of columbiana peeking into the foreground from the right. It's hard to show the differences in height in a photo that also shows all three plants in one view, but the hybrid x media is intermediate in height between columbiana and uva-ursi.
Fifth photo - columbiana on the far left, top in the background, and right (close to the pine trunk); x media in the center (bright green leaves); and uva-ursi along the ground in the lower left and lower center. The columbiana has its own observation here
