Threadstem Fireweed Blossoms

2 other pictures above in notes! :)

I was going to make this my Pick of the Day, but Steve thought the other one was nicer. I like them both but I really love the bokeh flowers that enhance this image!

From Wiki:

Epilobium minutum is a species of willowherb known by the common names chaparral willowherb and desert willowherb. It is also called "smallflower willowherb". However that name, in particular the British English variant "small-flowered willowherb", typically refers to Epilobium parviflorum.

Epilobium minutum at the Kingston Prairie Preserve, Stayton, Oregon
This annual wildflower is native to western North America from British Columbia and Alberta to California and Arizona. This is a plant of fields and meadows, including vernal pools, and it is one of the first flowers to spring up in areas recently cleared by wildfire.

Epilobium minutum is a small, spindly plant with thin, branching stems approaching a maximum of 40 centimeters in height. The sparse leaves are oval-shaped and one or two centimeters long. The stems are topped with few tiny white to light purple flowers with notched petals each a few millimeters long. The fruit is a capsule one or two centimeters in length.
