Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--Sulfur Buckwheat


First blossoms opened today on the sulfur buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum) plants. These start out a pale sulfur yellow, but fade to a deeper yellow and then to orange and brown, a very attractive cycle of change. Drought tolerant, happy when neglected, beautiful. My kind of plant.
