Collinsia tinctoria
That's a really lovely plant. I did some looking around and I think it's a Collinsia that's endemic to California. We've got a similar Collinsia on the East coast that's commonly called Blue-Eyed Mary.
Yes..its must have density of many species and bushes of herb plants. Many small and mid size birds, reptiles are located at such place.
It's along a hiking trail next to a lake but not particularly moist area. Very wooded area.
