Sudden infestation with this yellow flowered low-leaved tall ganglyplant
Anyone ever had an infestation of acres of these yellow plants?
http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393168.jpg They seem to be taking over my otherwise barren dry hillsides: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393169.jpg The plant has a strange-looking stalk: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393210.jpg And very low-lying leaves: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13393207.jpg The climate is San Francisco bay area, very dry, poor Franciscan sediment soil, and lots and lots and lots of sunlight. |

At first I thought it was kin to mustard, but then I got to searching and it kind of looks like this: Broom Snakeweed https://www.google.com/search?q=Broo...iw=920&bih=539 -- Natural Girl //(**)\\ |

It looks very much like a member of the mustard family.
Maybe Wintercress aka Barbarea. Count the petals on the flower. If there are Four petals on each flower, it is a mustard. Emilie NorCal |

Wild mustard. I just got home and saw those pictures of the 4-petaled mustard plants in the San Francisco bay area. Those pictures are much more lush than mine - but I'll try to snap a closeup of the flower in the morning and compare. I'll report back what I find in comparison to the net on the "wild mustard". BTW, if it is wild mustard, might I be able to make mustard out of it? (I'll check - but I figured I'd ask also.) |
