Evening folks, I'd love some help with this pic. Forget the people, can anyone identify the plants?
Is this a potato crop, partially coming into flower on the left? Or are these wild flowers?
Context: this is a coastal plain at the village of Inver, Easter Ross, 1915, south of the Morrich More.

Quebec's Caribou are back in the news & it's bad news bc we knew that endless nonstop forestry clearcutting would destroy Caribou habitat & open forest for predators and there's no replacing old growth forest once it's gone.
