Sticky Monkeyflower
The plant itself is somewhat unattractive, but its
ubiquitous orange flowers cheer up the springtime.
They grow abundantly up the ridge behind my house.
There are also scarlet varieties (I haven't seen any
of those around here) and a purple one that is called
"Lewis' Monkeyflower", after Meriwether Lewis. There
are just a few of the purple ones up the ridge.
