First flower of native Sticky False Gilyflower (Allophyllum glutinosum, Polemoniaceae) in our canyon

Here is the first new flower of native Sticky False Gilyflower (Allophyllum glutinosum) in the Polemoniaceae plant family in our canyon. (No relation to gillyweed in Harry Potter 4!) It's a summer plant that's just starting to flower and will hopefully continue until September or later. Last year, I found the first flowers on April 11, so it seems to be right on schedule. It's a minor flower, but I love these summer plants that keep the insects going all through our summer-dry season. (San Marcos Pass, 20 April 2016)
