:: Clarkia ::

Clarkia is a genus of flowering plants in the evening primrose family, Onagraceae. It includes more than 40 recognized species, most of which are native to western North America.

These plants play a vital role in their ecosystems by supporting native pollinators. In fact, some pollinators depend entirely on Clarkia species for survival—such as a specialized bee commonly referred to as the "Clarkia bee."
