My first Californian Campanulaceae. Thanks to Ken for the find and the ID. Not sure which one it is, though. Need to find a key...
Well, looking at the Jepson key, it seems that this is either G. diffusa or G. specularioides, but I don't think I can see ovary details in my pics.
Githopsis is a small genus of flowering plants in the bellflower family which are known as bluecups. These are small annual wildflowers with white or purple white-throated blooms. Bluecups are native to western North America, especially California. There are four species within the genus.
