Map of western United States showing the six focal populations of Mimulus cardinalis used in this study. Populations were sourced from the leading edge (N1 and N2), range center (C1 and C2), and trailing edge (S1 and S2) of the range of M. cardinalis and are set on a backdrop of grey-scale extreme maximum temperature across a 30-year period from 1981

An extreme close-up of a very small flower, with a hairy reddish stem and soft hairy pointed leaves. A single yellow tube flower with five petals blooms from the top. Moss and sand carpet the background.

This charming little monkeyflower, Erythranthe patula, was growing in a fascinating moist seep in an otherwise semi-arid cliff in the Okanagan.

The Golden Glamour of Erythranthe 📖 Scientific + Visual Explanation Scientific Explanation: This photograph captures a vibrant yellow monkeyflower (Erythranthe spp., formerly Mimulus), a member of the Phrymaceae (Lopseed) family. Its two-lipped (bilabiate) corolla is a striking example of zygomorphic symmetry—the flower can only be split into two equal halves along one plane. The upper lip is formed by two fused petals, often appearing as a single lobe. The lower lip, formed by three fused petals, is sac-like and frequently lined with fine hairs or ridges. The dark speckles (nectar guides) at the base of the lower lip direct pollinators like bees and hummingbirds toward the nectar. As pollinators land on the lower lip, they brush against the stamens (male) and stigma (female), ensuring pollination. The name “monkeyflower” playfully refers to the corolla’s resemblance to a grinning monkey’s Kim face. Visual Description: The photo is a close-up, high-contrast composition, with the glowing yellow flower standing out against a dark, blurred background. The petals look velvety and soft, reflecting light subtly, while fine veins trace across their surfaces, adding texture. The lower throat is speckled, enhancing contrast against the otherwise smooth petals. The clean framing and strong color isolation make the bloom look almost luminous, commanding attention as the sole subject.

The bright green, feathery moss Thuidium sp. is widely distributed across the globe—from tropical cloud forests to temperate forests. In nitrogen-poor ecosystems, Thuidium sp. and other mosses are heavily colonised by nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, contributing significantly to total ecosystem nitrogen input.

Four peppered moths on a rock. Recent research suggests that the famous case study of peppered moth evolution has a new twist: their intriguing coloration changes are driven by RNA molecules that don’t code for proteins. How common these cases are is still up for debate. Image credit: Shutterstock/IanRedding.

Yellow monkeyflower (Erythranthe guttatus) at Ash Creek Wildlife Area CA. The common name originated because someone thought the flower resembles a monkey's face. My imagination is not that vivid.

Deep red monkeyflower blooms amongst grey-green CA poppy foliage

Turns out that this monkey I picked up from the botanic garden sale is a super deep red color, which I love. And I found this weird bug that iNat informs me is a lady beetle larva. Neat!

Yellow blooms of the seep monkey flower (Erythranthe guttata). The corolla is trumpet shaped like most monkeys, but squished so the flower opening is narrow and horizontal.

Delicate purple flowers of the CA hedgenettle (Stachys bullata). The lower petals have a fine lacy white pattern.

A couple friends chillin' in my temporary water feature (aka a bucket) until bog 2.0 is ready. I love the seep monkey flower, their sunny yellow color is so cheerful but their squashy faces say they're not happy about it. Harumph!
