Buckwheat in Bloom
California buckwheat (Eriogonum) is an attractive native plant that blooms in summer.
Long-blooming buckwheat attracts butterflies and many other beneficial insects to the City of Ojai Community Demonstration Garden.
Planting natives helps ensure the survival of our local butterflies.
California buckwheat is heat and drought -tolerant.

Loved the photos. Especially the second one - contrast of the "cloud" of wispy buckwheat leaning into the solidity of brown posts.
