This buckwheat has lovely soft yellow blooms held about a foot above a low mat of foliage. I love the color and form, but question the name. "Sulfur Flower???"?????!!! That is not the color of sulfur. The mineral if a brassy bright yellow, almost like that terrible oxalis weed. I suspect that this may be Eriogonum ersinum, Bear Buckwheat. I will have to ask someone at the UC Botanical Garden, where this picture was taken, if they know something about this plant that I don't. Maybe the sign was moved from its proper location. It is a mystery to me.
