Thanks to Jake, he took us to see this plant!
The second picture is UV flora, aka Bee Vision
The flower is very reflective when I photographed the flower with camera flash (see 3rd picture).
Plants grow in dark forest usually have very reflective flowers, to attract pollinators.

Jake is the first one who spotted this rare Agalinis viridis.
We found more in the clearing, under the power line later.
These rare Agalinis is sharing the same habitat with A. fasciculata....except A. fasciculata has much bigger flowers.
