It's a California Poppy (national flower of California).
It's used as medicinal plant for various uses. California Poppy – Health Benefits and Side Effects
That is a California poppy, Eschscholzia californica. There are various subspecies and cultivars, but the species is certain.
Well, the distinction is really in the eye of the beholder. Since a wildflower is just a flower that was not intentionally seeded or planted, while a weed is defined by being undesirable.
So you like the flower? It's a pretty wildflower. You don't? It's a nasty weed.
It's also called a Welsh poppy.
