Clarkia concinna. The genus was named for Captain William Clark (1770-1838) of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Blooming in May, June, and July, this absolutely lovely plant is known by many common names: red ribbons, fringed clarkia, lovely clarkia, and others. I find the form and structure of the flowers particularly charming, perhaps because they are so unusual and so unlike other flowers blooming at the same time. —Henry Evans
