A helpful colleague has identified yesterday's mystery wildflower as a variety of Tick Trefoil, which is a pea-like legume. It had me stymied because I looked at it early in the morning when the blossoms were still closed tight; a little later, they would have looked like this photo. I also overlooked the tiny notched pods growing along the stem.
Mystery solved, thanks to a botanist.
