Rachel and I have been focusing more intensely on a few late-seeding plants. One of the plants in full bloom right now is <em>Eriogonum fasciculatum<\/em> var.\u00a0<em>polifolium, <\/em>or California buckwheat. Although the USDA plants profile lists this species as &#8220;Eastern Mojave buckwheat,&#8221; it grows readily in sites within the Bakersfield Field Office boundaries. This shrub has pretty white flowers that fade to red, then brown and orange as the seeds dry. This is a fairly common plant that grows abundantly along roadsides, so we are happy to have a good number of sources. Here is a picture of Rachel collecting seed at a site near Lake Isabella, CA.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=18031\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18031\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18031\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/DSCF0150-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/DSCF0150-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/DSCF0150-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/DSCF0150-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/DSCF0150-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A less common plant that we colleced recently was <em>Isomeris arborea<\/em>, also called Bladder Pod.
