Punchbowl godetia, Farewell to Spring.
Blooms in April-July. Seen on most of our trails.

| Most of the flowers have a lighter patch in the center. This can vary considerably in color and size | |
Clarkias start blooming at the tip of the flowerspike.
Here there are seedpods forming at the tip and
two flowers left at the base.
This white flower was blooming in a patch of normal Clarkias. I assume it is just a color variant. There were two white plants in the midst of a score or more of pink ones. (Seen 22 June 2010, and pretty much every year thereafter on Cold Spring trail)
