This dazzling bright yellow flower decorated a patch of ground in some sagebrush hills. It's called nakedstem sunray or naked stemmed daisy (Enceliopsis nudicaulis). It's obviously a member of the sunflower family. 
It is about a foot tall, the flower rising from a basal rosette of greenish-gray leaves. There are no leaves on the stalk, and just one flower head per stalk (peduncle). This is a flower that I'd like to add to my native flower garden, it's really eye-catching.For more information about nakedstem sunray, click here.
