The common names for this plant are Bridges' Penstemon and Beaked Penstemon. It's found throughout the southwestern states and is particularly common in Tulare County and in the Sierra Nevada range in general, growing at elevations between 5000 and 11,000 feet. The flowers angle downwards to accommodate hummingbirds and to discourage bees. In fact, while filming this video I encountered quite a few hummingbirds. They seem to really like hanging out around patches of this plant.
