    Answer

    Dear Courioseael, you appear to have collected a species of Asclepias (milkweed) while the flowers are opening but the stalks haven't elongated. The notched leaf bases with prominent red veins suggests it could be Asclepias cordifolia. However, California is a long way from my region of expertise, but this will hopefully provide you a starting point in your study.
