Seep monkeyflower (Erythranthes guttata). A tubular yellow flower with fused petals and orange speckles. Related to our East Coast Mimulus monkeyflower, but different genus.

Pacific aster (Symphyotrichum chilense). A purple composite flower with purple ray flowers and yellow disk flowers.

The iconic California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). A bright orange and yellow flower.

California fuchsia (Epilobium canum). Not actually a fuchsia! Two hot pink tubular flowers.

Did you know there’s a California native plant garden on the roof of CalAcademy of Sciences? Neither did I, until Friday!
