The flower family of Clarkia includes more than 40 species, and I'm very happy that there are at least five species on our property! This little beauty is small, about 1/2" in diameter, and has four distinctive magenta spots on each petal. Clarkia species are all native to western North America, although there is one species that grows in Argentina, South America.

This is another beauty I never tire of seeing on our property! To me, it looks like it's made from pink crepe paper! Purple Clarkia is fairly small in size, about 1/2"-1" in diameter. It's native to the Pacific Northwest and ranges in color including pink, purple, and deep wine red.
