Organism 1
Sticky Monkey Flower, Diplacus Aurantiacus. (Angiosperm) Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees feast in the springtime bounty of nectar and pollen they produce, and this is one way the plant is dispersed. When the plant senses the absence of pollen, the stigma will reopen. The stigma will continue to open and close until pollen is finally deposited. It can be found from south Oregon to most of California. California's most widespread plant communities - coastal scrub, chaparral, oak woodland, mixed evergreen forest, or coniferous forest - will likely yield several sightings. They are not fussy about soil type, growing naturally in shales, sandstones, decomposed granite, and alluvium, but good drainage is critical. Depending upon annual rainfall, the flowering season can last from late winter through mid-summer. The plants invariably shut down once available soil moisture is depleted, a sign of their adaptation to California's long dry season. In places where coastal fog adds significant moisture, plants may blossom sporadically year-round.
ph:5.00 to 8.00
usda:7 to 10
height[m]:0.50 to 1.00
width[m]:0.50 to 1.00
rainfall[cm]:48.00 to 141.00
There are multiple populations. The nearest mating members were along the pathway leading towards the coast. It's randomly distributed. It's located in this area because the moisture from the fog and from the beach make it an adaptable place for the plant to live in, and it isn't too picky about it's soil either. I think the population I am observing is a source; the Sticky Monkey Flower can also be found near Lake Merced (from what I've seen).

I saw about 7 different bushes of sticky monkey flower within the area.
In 5 cycles, r=.7; in 20 cycles, r= .175
The population should grow overtime; if the conditions stay the same, then the area should become more fruitful, that is, taking into consideration of hummingbirds and bees.
