Flower petals fringed, and wet on a rainy morning

Decumbent to erect growth habit. Soft yellow flowers in a tight corymb at stem tips, flowers 2 cm long with a long tube, 18 mm diameter, petals have fringed margins. Leaves are alternate, linear and have no petioles. I measured the leaf length to 3 cm long and 3 mm wide. Leaves and stems covered with short stiff hairs.

Flowering begins in mid May. Common on dry grassland.

Above photos were taken on a grassy roadside, about 70 km east of our home in Regina, SK.
