Cleveland Sage (?), Rincon Bluffs preserve, south of Carpinteria
Google Lens, usually a reliable ID source, seems to have been hijacked! I'm working on it. Could have to do the ID the old-fashioned way. Flower looks vaguely familiar. Unless a local flower-person can help?? Thanks to Alan English for a tentative ID (see note below).
And see the last note from Alexander S. Kunz. He thinks this is most likely Cleveland Sage, based on personal knowledge of both plants. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_clevelandii

"In 2016, the Land Trust bought this property, among the last remaining undeveloped coastal properties between the western edge of Goleta and the Ventura County line. Now, over two thirds of the entire Carpinteria Bluffs open space is permanently protected from development and for the public’s enjoyment under a Land Trust conservation easement."
Good news, and a new-to-me and very flowery walk yesterday, after our plans to drive across the Topa Topa range had to be cancelled: CA-33 is still closed from flood damage.
