Ballhead Ipomopsis-Ipomopsis congesta

I've seen quite a few flowers blooming that I blogged about last year, so it's taken a little searching to find some new ones for the second season of A Plant a Day. And a little time to do a post!

This is Ipomopsis congesta, also called manyflowered gilia and ball headed gilia. It is rather inconspicuous, lying close to the ground, with flowers in clusters at the end of long, spreading stems.
