Growing in moist areas is an attractive flower about three feet tall, white checkerbloom (Sidalcea candida). It's a member of the Mallow Family (Malvaceae). "Candida" means "brilliant white." Many other members of the Mallow Family are orange or pink, so this one stands out.
Flowers are about an inch wide with five petals. 
This flower has attracted a pollinator and its petals look like they have been nibbled away.For more information about white checkerbloom, click here.
