I don't have the faintest...but I'll bump the post to the top in the hopes that someone may be able to help you.

By the way, I like the shot....the bee is nice.

Thanks for the help Bindii. These flowers are interesting in that they completely open up during the day and then completely close from late afternoon until morning.

had a Google but couldn't pin down; don't you have a flowers of S.California field book? I'd try harder if your camera was the prize for correct ID.

LOL, imagine the responses I would get.

Hey Rum, I saw it and thought "yellow bell". Didn't find much on google but this:

Good idea, Mike, that's the closest so far. Let me try my hand at some searching.

I'm in SoCal as well, but I can't say that I have ever seen one of these. Love the shot though, the bee makes it!

Thanks Bea. I don't really see them around much either but they just started growing at my friend's house. He's no gardener and has no idea where they came from, but they're neat little flowers so I shot 'em. Now if we could only figure out what they are...
