I've added two photos I found from a couple of months ago--the first shows more truly the flower's color and the second a green seed pod.

Appreciate the lead, Jean (eventhough FL is quite a long way from California).

They look very much like our native Northern California "woodland pea" (we have many varieties of vetches and peas), Lathyrus vestitus.

I don't belive that's a match, p.young. These flowers are definitely pea-like rather than tubular and dusky pink as opposed to rich red. The cedar sage looks familiar, though. Thanks for the suggestion and I welcome your help.
