Varied-Leaf Nemophila (Nemophila heterophylla)
Family: Waterleaf (Hydrophyllaceae)
Varied-Leaf Nemophila has tiny flowers, smaller around than a dime, but they grow in clusters and make up in quantity what they lack in girth. The plant grows in the lower reaches of Yosemite and in the surrounding foothills of the western slope. It favors semi-shady areas, such as at the base of a rock or log.
Blooms: March - July
