Is this spider near Vancouver, British Columbia a Misumena vatia?

Certainly a possibility - https://www.flickr.com/photos/imagevixen1/6342854472/
But given the apparent lack of any coloration along the side of its abdomen, Mecaphesa celer also may be considered - http://www.austinbug.com/survey/2012/pics/5-10-12mecaphesa.jpg

I really appreciate all your input Flapdoodle. I forgot to mention that I was also curious as to what the small insects crawling around on the flower are?

Hard to be certain; might be thrips...
