Thanks, Tyrlych! I have credited you on the webpage.

Looks like some kind of bromeliad to me. Maybe the buds for one of the Aechmeas or something along those lines. One of the things I love about digital cameras is that if you're somewhere that labels their plants you can take a picture of the label while you're taking pics of the plants. I usually label the plant pictures later and delete the label pictures. Anyway, I don't have to pay for the extra pictures or try to decipher my chicken scratch ID notes. Not to discourage anyone from posting to Name That Plant, of course. WW

Thank you! I've been searching for weeks to id this one. Here is more about Rose Chafers: Rose chafer - Macrodactylus subspinosis Rachel Graphic Muse's Garden Spot

Looks like Clarkia amoena, aka Godetia. A common western wildflower that is also sold in nurseries and from seed as a summer annual.
