Clarkia amoena, also known as the satin flower, is native to western North America from central California to British Columbia. Clarkia wildflowers (Clarkia spp. ) derive their name from William Clark of the Clark and Lewis Expedition.
Clarkia is a genus of plants in the Onagraceae family. More than 40 species[1] are currently recognized in this genus. It’s a popular annual in cool climates cultivated in borders and flower beds for its satin-finished, cup-shaped blooms.
