User's notes

A guess on it being Wahlenbergia gracilis, hoping there is enough in the photo to positively ID this plant. Thumb and forefinger provides relative size of flower.

It could be Wahlenbergia gracilenta, which has flowers about the same size. We prefer to see photos of the flower sideways on, the stem, and the leaves, before making an ID to species level for Wahlenbergia.

Okay, well this one could only ever have an ID of Wahlenbergia sp. then as I didn't get any other photos. I will return to the location and try and get more photos. It is possible that there could be either of those two species present, or even both.
