The extravagant flower pictured above is St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). It is not an indigenous wild flower but an invasive species. At this time of year it bears these lovely yellow flowers in a few patches along the West Bay Walkway. I don't know whether it was planted there for its decorative value or whether it has naturalized itself. Whatever the reason it's a delight to the eye.
Happy Canada Day!

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.
