Primula clevelandii, ssp patulum, Padre's Shooting Star.

This is the common Shooting Star at Sunol and Edgewood in early spring.

Dodecatheon: from the Greek dodeka, "twelve," and thios, "gods." One source suggests
that because the flowers sometimes appear in clusters of twelve, the Roman naturalist Pliny
bestowed this name because he thought the flowers represented the twelve Olympian gods.
