Downy Goldenrod is the couple of smaller, wand-shaped inflorescences at the far left.

At 1530' (466 m), Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the Eastern seaboard north of Brazil. It's a barren, windswept granite dome. In fact, Mount Desert Island derives its name from the French explorers, "desert" in French simply meaning barren. We arrived just in time to watch a spectacular sunset www.flickr.com/photos/anitagould/41729258/ , & I snapped these goldenrods after it was done, so sorry about the ugly flash photography, but this was the only place I saw either of these species. Downy is supposed to be found in "open woods & sandy roadsides, mostly along coast," so maybe later in the season it will be blooming at lower altitude. But Rand's is an alpine specialty. Rand's used to be considered a separate species, but according to plants.usda.gov it has now been lumped with the western Mt. Albert Goldenrod.
