Lots of ripe red huckleberry, Oregon grape, salal, thimbleberry, general blackberries/brambles, and (at least) one black raspberry plant. Most of the hike was shaded, which I always appreciate. We started at 12:30pm from Samish overlook and made it to oyster dome by 2:15pm via Samish Bay trail. After resting and enjoying the view at the top for about 30 minutes we began our descent. We made it back to the car by 4:15pm by backtracking the same route. For reference, my partner has iffy knees so we take the descending sections fairly slowly. This trail was definitely a good workout but the view from the top wasn't necessarily a big payoff when we had the same view from the parking lot.
