Western Wallflower (Erysimum capitatum)

Rainy Lake Road, Columbia Gorge, OR, 6/2014.
The name “western” is apt, as this variety appears in every western state, at almost every elevation. The highest concentration is between 6-10 thousand feet. The common name refers to a European variety that is often found growing near the walls of ancient ruins.
