Cushion Buckwheat
(Oval-Leaf Buckwheat)
(Eriogonum ovalifolium)
Small oval-shaped leaves grow at the base of this plant, forming a cushion
which is easy to recognize even when the flowers are not in bloom.
The flowers (many of them, in ball-shaped clumps) grow at the tops of
leafless stalks. The flower color can vary from white to pink or purple --
usually white tinged with pink.
