Bluehead Gilia

It sometimes goes by the name Globe Gilia because the flowers pop up as groups of tiny balls sitting in sunny areas up and down the West Coast.
The top picture shows another of the flower's attributes. It's a butterfly magnet.
Not much is written about its human edibility, however, native plant gardeners recommend it as an easy care plant that re-seeds itself.
