This site identifies it as Clarkia and mentions that it is a wildflower seen on hikes in Yosemite. What an unusual wildflower!

Thanks Regina! Indeed, it’s clarkia!. First time growing it, can’t recognize the plant, flower yet. I did sow the seeds, many other flower seeds including clarkia in the area. How nice it blooms now. I also read a piece of its history too from the link.

Looks like my bare rooted SC jujubes planted early this year have some blooms, does that mean I may get some fruit this season?

No really,just a hope. Many Jujubes have hard time to set fruits. It may require another one to pollinate the flowers.
