Mimulus moschatus is finishing for the season. A month earlier it was full of flowers.



I grow Silene lacianata ssp. californica all over the garden. They too will bloom on and off all summer. Common - but so easy and a nice long blooming season.  :)

Pseudofumaria lutea flowering, and in the sunnier part of the garden one of my favourite cranesbill, G.pratense 'Plenum Violaceum'.

I had an old hypertufa trough break, so I had to extract plants.  The nice thing about alpine soils is that you don't have to wash it off the roots for a pic!
