Inflorescence detail from image below.
Inflorescence.
Near the ramada at Coyote Creek gate.
June 11, 1995.
This subspecies is highly variable, and despite its common name,
often does not have a spot on each petal. Off-hand, I don't recall
seeing the spotted form at Coe, though a darker form is quite common, as seen
in Dave Hildebrand's photo below.
