Blooming near the parking lot is Blue Toadflax (Linaria canadensis), also known as Annual Toadflax and Nuttallanthus canadensis. Identification clues are the flower color, shape and small size (1/4-inch across), alternate flowers on a slender stem, and small, narrow, alternate leaves on the lower stem.
