I'm not sure on the ID, but after some research on the Internet, I think it might be White Lupine (Lupinus albus). And if it is White Lupine, it might not actually be a wildflower, as it is sometimes used as a soil supplement and/or cattle feed and I found it in a cattle pasture. Whatever it is, I think it's pretty.

Lupinus albus (Linaeus 1753), commonly known as the white lupin, is a member of the genus Lupinus in the family Fabaceae. It is a traditional pulse cultivated in the Mediterranean region.
The beginning of the history of lupin cultivation in the Old World is often associated with the times of the ancient Egyptian civilization . It is, however, more likely that originally white lupin was introduced into cultivation in ancient Greece where its greatest biodiversity was concentrated and wild-growing forms have been preserved until nowadays . On the Balkan Peninsula representatives of another subspecies of white lupin turned wild and grows now in natural environments. Besides, the Grecian genesis of cultivated lupin is testified by lupin’s Greek name termis, that may be translated as “ardent”. Until now, in may countries of the world water-soaked and boiled lupin seeds are sold on markets and in bars as delicacies (like sunflower seeds). White lupin dispersed step-by-step from Greece to adjacent countries, in particular, to Egypt and Ancient Rome. The forms with white seeds and pink-and-blue or light-pink flowers spread mainly towards the south (Egypt, Libya and Palestine), while the forms with white seeds and grayish-blue or white flowers moved to the west (Apennine Peninsula and farther).
