Pacific Trillium (Trillium ovatum) Native plant growing in a semi-shaded woods near the coast.
This unique wildflower emerges in spring, its distinctive 3-petaled white infloresence brightening the deep shade and dark colors of the moist forest floor. The white petals can fade to pink or even red as they age. Single flowers bloom on a short peduncle, rather than being sessile as in other trilliums, and are framed by three sepals and three broad leaves resulting in a pleasingly balanced composition. The pedicel (flower stalk) is diagnostic. Trillium ovatum has one but T. albidum does not. It grows slowly, spreading from rhizomes and does best in moist acidic soils with high organic matter and dappled sun to full shade. Banana slugs love it. Peak bloom time: Feb-April.

This Clarkia was being windblown, to the left :-)

Lewis' Clarkia (Clarkia lewisii) is a native, annual plant found only in Monterey and San Benito Counties. Nodding buds are characteristic. Outer anthers are lavender and longer than white, speckled inner anthers. Long, white stigma is exserted beyond anthers and has a "+" at the tip. Sepals stay fused in 4's. Ring of hairs visible at rim, when looking down into flower (whereas in Clarkia cylindrica, ring of hairs is below the rim). Petals can be lavender or pink. Base of petals sometimes have tiny, dark pink speckles. The entire base of the petals is occasionally deep crimson, similar to Ruby Chalice Clarkia (Clarkia rubicunda), but the plant can be distinguished by its nodding buds, and the two different forms of its anthers. Peak bloom time: May-July.
