This is one of my favorite wild flowers, unfortunately, I don't know what it's called. I do know it's against the law to pick, uproot or destroy in the state of California.
It's found along major highways and many back roads in the most unlikely places. The flowers of this plant are huge; perhaps the largest in this area

By the way, fine use of eye, composition, and exposure on the road side.
