Silene bridgesii
Bridges' catchfly is a sticky-hairy perennial wildflower from mountain forests and woodlands of California and possibly Oregon, with nodding white to pinkish flowers. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, so care notes are general guidance for a hardy, sun-to-part-shade perennial.
Silene bridgesii is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common name Bridges' catchfly.
It is native to California, where it can be found throughout the Sierra Nevada and the southern reaches of the Cascade Range to the north, its distribution possibly extending into Oregon. It grows in mountain forests and woodlands.
