Eriogonum nudum - Buckwheat

Description

This tough plant found on hot slopes and roadcuts is an unassuming low mound of foliage for much of the year. The plant transforms itself in the hot days of summer, however, when the foliage is topped by round airy clusters of white flowers. Pretty when combined with its neighbors in nature - Monkeyflower, Sagebrush, and California Fuschia.
