This lovely flower is often in the middle of a two-track road. It might look like the one above, but it's not squished, it's just resting during the day. The Tufted Evening Primrose (Oenothera caespitosa) comes alive late in the day and during the night. 
The flowers have large petals that start out white but turn pink as they age. The flowers are generally open widest at night and twilight hours.For more information about tufted evening primrose, click here.

Lovely photo. I really like this flower, and dawn always seems to be the best time to see it. We get them in May all over UT, from up here in Salt Lake to down in Canyonlands.
