Made of Paper, or so it looks. Rattlesnake Hawkweed (Hieracium venosum) is named for the traditional notion that it helped once you were bitten. Not sure what the followup on that has been, but the red-veined leaves are pretty spectacular and you could do worse having this plant in your rock garden. Hawkweeds, I find are mostly platforms for Halictus ligatus or poeyi, I see relatively little else on them as a generality, but the close study of any flower presents surprises and nips at our assumptions.
