Five spot

Nemophila maculata

Trailing annual native flower with five white petals and a blue-purple spot at the tip of each, blooming March to July. Low to moderate water requirement; full sun to part shade. Endemic to California, occurring in open meadows, woodlands and roadsides; up to 8,000 ft. elevation. Early spring blooms are significant pollen and nectar sources for Blue orchard bees, an important native pollinator for almond orchards. Also use for wildflower gardens beyond its native range.
