Timid TopRope,
Thanks for the info. Yeah, you are right the white tip numbers are for sure Tidy Tips. Goldfields could be the others also? All I have is the Audubon North American Wildflowers book. It doesn't even list Tidy Tips. According to it Goldfields are pretty tall 4"-10". These babies in the pic were pretty tiny? More research.

Dudeman, BEAUTIFUL Pics!! Love the Mission bell pic...How do you get to that location?
ps..positive that those are goldfields, several different varieties.
I highly recommend..Wildflowers of the Sierra Nevada & central Valley : Laird Blackwell.
Edit:Pretty sure the other one is a phacelia.

Thanks everyone! Blue (Curls) Phacelia looks like maybe the last unknown. Figueroa Mountain is located near the towns of Los Olivos and Solvang.

hey there dudeman and all... say, i miss the calif wildflowers.. but a few years back when i was on the other side of town, here, (mich) i had a woods and field in my backyard...
after making trails and walking there often, i found 75 different kinds of michigan wildflowers there... it was a wonderful place to study...
would have been a great place to teach kids to appreciate nature, but i had to moved, the owner had a stroke and they had to up to rent to help out, etc, on all their properties...
here's a salute to wildflower lovers everywhere... so many have been "swallowed up" by big cities... :(
*say, in south texas, we had blue bonnets, tunas (flower on the prickly pear), large white prickly poppy---lovely, but prickly, as can be, and grew along the tracks.... and a few other nice stuff, i still need the names for...
