The high elevation and the upright (not curved-back) forked filament tip appendages indicate this is ssp. anilina. The blue anthers are consistent, too (but not definitive). The Jepson key is here: http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_IJM.pl?key=9562 T. ixioides anilina: https://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=0000+0000+0804+0283 T. ixioides scabra: https://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=0000+0000+0712+0583
