Wotsit? Volunteer flowers...
 

I planted four tamarind beans in some reclaimed peat, and a rash of
seedlings appeared, and as I didn't recognise them, I let them grow.

They have started to bloom, and I still don't know what they are. The
open ones are yellow, but a number of magenta buds are not far behind.

Anyone care to identify them for me, please?

(The orange ones are begonias - even I know that...)

Mimulus guttatus, the so-called "Monkey Flower".

Mimulus. Beware of its extraordinary capacity to seed *anywhere*.
I used to think I liked it :-)

Monkey musk. Relative of the yellow thing (sometimes with red spots)
that you find in shallow stony rivers.

Very common in the Diablo range, just east of San Jose.

Frog? Jaundiced trout?

(Still never heard of it, but thanks for the enlargement.)
