Unfortunately my skills as a botanist have failed me in identifying this particular flower. I used my National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers: Western Region as well as a great wildflower identification website I found with no luck. The two different colors of flower look a bit like a chia but that is more of a “thorny” bud. Also the little pods attached and the yellow tipped stamen aren’t quite right. Anyone know what this one is?
