A different, native monkeyflower in my yard. #monkeyflower #flowers #gardening

The monkeyflower varieties I have are in full bloom making the incubating moms and recently fledged baby hummingbirds very happy. #monkeyflower #BackyardBlooms #berkeleyadventures

Yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus. Native to the west coast of north America but some populations have been established in the east. Its leaves are edible and can be used as lettuce. As a medicinal plant it can be steamed and used as a treatment for chest or back soreness. Or as a treatment for wounds.

The Ferris Lab at Tulane is hiring field techs to help with #monkeyflower reciprocal transplants in Yosemite! This is the best part of my job and I love teaching people and showing them around the park. Please share widely! Happy to answer questions

Out in the bush today. #monkeyflower #FieldWork #Evolution

It's #MonkeyflowerMonday! This is Diplacus graniticola, the granite-crack #monkeyflower found in California. It thrives in the hot and dry granite. Left photo with #UV filter on- it has a cool "bullseye" type pattern. The leaves are sticky which is common in the genus.

Felted a #monkeyflower inspired by these adorable happy face phenotypes. Usually there’s only light scattered red dots on #Mimulus guttatus (syn. Erythranthe guttata) but some pops have a stronger red dot... and some individuals look like this!
