C. mentiens has a slender stem and the lateral sepals are fused at the base. I will need an image taken from low to the ground to ID this plant. More likely to be C. carnea.

I bow to your judgement MattM. I love the hunt. I hate the identification.

Some are more difficult to ID than others, especially from photos. Superficially many species look identical, do it's difficult to know what features to capture. I also love the hunt, but identification provides a different sort of entertainment.
