This is a flowering plant native to western North America, found in coastal hills and mountains from British Columbia south to the San Francisco Bay Area. It's botanical name is Clarkia Amoena and it is sometimes called "Farewell to Spring". It reminds me a bit of azalea - I captured it in a greenhouse of a local garden center.

Very nice capture of these lovelies, I learn so much from your postings, but I wonder how much of it I actually retain in the memory bank. Thanks for the info. I do appreciate it. tigs=^..^=

Like Sandi, you offer a lot of information that my old brain doesn't recall well. A lovely capture of these blooms.

---"Farewell to Spring"---

Hope however that its 'nickname' won't come true, as I'm desiring for the Spring Time, instead of getting bored by another gray and dull wint'ry day here, Kathy.

Thanks however that your very fine image has provided me with a glimpse of artificial sunshine today. Another lovely one, my friend!
