Douglas' spineflower ~ 04/29/14 ~ Pinnacles

Polygonaceae

This is the first time I've noticed this spineflower starting to bloom this year.  Its pinkish color reminds me of the federally threatened Monterey spineflower found at Fort Ord, but Douglas' is upright rather than spreading across the sand like Monterey.
