Owl's Clover

Description:

I love this flower! Pink inflorescence with white and yellow flowers that have dark stripes that make me think of a cat and whiskers! The leaves are very narrow and go all the way up the stalk. This plant was about 30 cm tall. "It is generally 10 to 40 centimeters tall with linear or lance-shaped leaves up to 8 centimeters long, and with or without lobes. The inflorescence is as small as 3 centimeters or as long as 25 centimeters in length, and has bracts tipped in white to dull or bright pink or purple. Between the bracts appear the flowers, which are somewhat rounded and pouched, and white to yellow to pink or purple in color." - Wikipedia

Habitat:

Grassy area in mixed chaparral. "It is native to California and northern Baja California, where it grows in grassland and chaparral habitat. It is a variable species." - Wikipedia
