The Allen and the Rufous hummingbirds look quite similar and for the moment, I don't know the difference but this little female is most likely one or the other. The flower is called a bladder pod (You can see one of the pods near the bottom of the photo) or California Cleome or Isomeris arborea. They are all over the place now.
Range; Throughout North America except in the far north. Scattered in the southern United States.
Shot taken in June 2011.
A medium height semi-sprawling grassland perennial with distinctly waxy grey-green foliage. The flowers, which are white, consist of five cleft petals joined at their base to form a tube, surrounded by a bladder-like calyx, hence the common name of Bladder campion. Flowering occurs from May to August.

The Bladder Cicada (Cystosoma saundersii) occurs from the Atherton Tableland down to Sydney's central coast. A population appeared in Sydney's Inner West several years ago (possibly in soil transported with a tree from the north), and since then their low guttoral call has been a common occurence at dusk in spring and summer.
Note the ribbed structure above the legs. These tymbals are what the cicada uses to reverberate and produce their call.

Silene vulgaris, the bladder campion or maidenstears, is a plant species of the genus Silene of the pink family (Caryophyllaceae). It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is widespread in North America where it is considered a weed
-------------------------------------------------
De blaassilene (Silene vulgaris) is een plant uit de anjerfamilie
(Caryophyllaceae). Het is een in België en Nederland vrij algemeen voorkomende, 30-60 cm hoge plant die kan worden aangetroffen op matig voedselrijke, iets droge zand-, klei- en leemgrond, in bermen en tegen hellingen, in de duinen en op grazige grond. De plant prefereert een zonnige standplaats.
De verticale stengels zijn onbehaard en komen op uit een gebogen, diep in de grond vertakte wortelstok. Op de knopen van de stengels zitten smalle, tegenoverstaande bladeren.
De aan elke stengel hangende bloemen zijn dag en nacht geopend. 's Avonds verspreiden de bloemen een aangename klavergeur, en trekken dan bijen en nachtvlinders aan. De bloeiperiode loopt van mei tot september. De vijf witte kroonbladen zijn diep ingesneden. De kelkbuis is sterk opgeblazen en gelig tot paarsachtig geaderd. Aan deze kelkbuis dankt de plant haar naam. De bloemen zijn vaak tweeslachtig, waarbij zelfbestuiving niet optreedt doordat de mannelijke en vrouwelijke bloemen niet gelijktijdig rijp zijn.

Endemic to Europe.
Prefers chalky, dry meager grounds. In agricultural areas it becomes rare.
My dear Pops had to go the vet last Monday - he was rushed to animal hospital to have unpleasant things done to clear his bladder. He's still a bit wobbly but hopefully on the mend.
Apologies to you all for being absent again. Last week was busy with worrying over Pops - a trip to a concert one eve - sister staying over - memories and thoughts, worries and some fun mixed in there too!
I hope to get around to calling on your photostreams soon to catch up - I've missed you all.
Silene vulgaris, the bladder campion or maidenstears, is a plant species of the genus Silene of the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is also widespread in North America, where it is a common wildflower in meadows, open woods, and fields.
The young shoots and the leaves may be used as food in some countries of the Mediterranean region. The tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads. The older leaves are usually eaten boiled or fried, sautéed with garlic as well as in omelets.
This photo could be a bit sharper, and it would be, except that the flower was in deep shade and it was swaying in the wind.
Common brown algae with easily recognised by paired bladders on either side of prominent midrib, on British coast
At least, that's what a keyword search turned up in short order. Seems pretty distinctive. 1 cm across each.
