In the garden at the entrance of Peck Road Park, I saw these tiny flowers. Gilia Tricolor’s flowers are tiny but very delicate. I saw an ant in the petals of the flower in a photo. From their relative size to each other, you can guess the size of the flower. Gilia tricolor’s common names include bird’s-eyes, bird’s-eye gilia and tricolor gilia. It is an annual flowering plant. It is native to the Central Valley and foothills of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges in California.
在 Peck Road Park 進門口的花園中，看到這非常非小的花，它的花朵雖小，但是很精緻。我在一張照片的花瓣中看到一隻螞蟻，從它們的大小對比上，你可猜想這花的大小。三色吉利的俗名包括 bird’s-eyes，bird’s-eye gilia和tricolor gilia。 它是一年生的開花植物。它原產於美國內華達山脈的中央谷地和山麓丘陵以及加州的海岸山脈。
