Now I think I gave the wrong ID for my own spotting of monkey flower (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12677512). I think mine is Mimulus guttatus as well. I'm going to fix it. :-)

I didn't realize there are 150 species of Monkey Flowers. Could it be this maybe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimulus_guttatus

Thank you for the suggestion, Yuko! I looked up that species and it wasn't found in my area but you definitely got the genus! :)
