Appearing as bright spots of color in wet areas, Seep monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) is the most common monkeyflower in the area, hence another common name: common monkeyflower. It's listed in the Plants Database as a member of the Figwort/Snapdragon Family (Scrophulariaceae), but I understand this is under some contention.
It has five petals, with little red spots on the lower petals. The leaves are broad, oval, and serrated. They are opposite and often fuse around the stem.For more information about seep monkeyflower, click here.
