A wildflower
No clue about its identification. The pubescence on the stems and shape of the leaves made me think Solanaceae, but the flower petals are highly divided and not bell-shaped, and the stamen are small.
The dogs prevented additional photographs… they had to make sure I was paying attention to them.
