WILDFLOWERS in Walnut Creek, California

San Francisco East Bay

Newer photos beginning of gallery, alphabetized followed by unidentified.
Contact me if you can help identify or notice an error. Often field guides just have a close up of a single flower & not their foliage making identification difficult.
I have put up some showing more of the plant & sometimes different color variations or angle.
Sources used to identify, Mt. Diablo Wildflowers (Mt. Diablo Interpretive Association), Nat. Audubon Society Field Guide to N. Amer. Wildflowers, PBase online gallery of Guy Bruyea.

What is the name of the sticky yellow weed/ grass that comes out late summer on the hills? It has a strong but pleasant odor and sticks to my dog's fur and my clothing.
