Interesting that it was a "native" display, that Ice plant is not native.
hmm, one description states that plants in the pink family (which silene is a part of) have flowers whose "petals are fringed or deeply cleft at the end". This petals don't seem to fit that description to me.
Looks like Peppermint to me, Mentha x piperita.
looks like Turkey-tail.

I'm PRETTY sure that Aquilegia formosa is the only Columbine native to the NW, and this isn't it.
and as you can see here, potato leaves are pointy, and another member of the nightshade family.

Everything is poisonous if you take to much of it. This plant is used in naturopathy and herbalism.
I'm thinking maybe Leatherleaf saxifrage, Leptarrhena pyrolifolia.
that "tansy" is misidentified, these are both more likely Jacobaea vulgaris than Tanacetum vulgaris, which doesn't have flower "petals".

This is not Tanacetum vulgare, looks more like Tansy Ragwort (which has a billion other common names, including "tansy") Jacobaea vulgaris. Tanacetum vulgare lakes flower petals.
