buckwheat
Eriogonum sp.
Polygonaceae
Given my difficulty in separating out and identifying buckwheat, I'm posting without a positive ID... but I like how pretty the blooms are here, especially in close-up. Seriously, there are at least 266 species of buckwheat in CA!!!
Thanks to Am I Bugging You Yet?'s recent blog post, I started this morning looking at my recent buckwheat pics and am giving it up to a lost cause... unless someone can provide some helpful hints on how to identify this genus of plants.
ps 11/19/14 - I now believe this is seacliff buckwheat (Eriogonum parvifolium). Newer seacliff buckwheat posts have more detail.

Eleven posts since I last checked! Holy cow. That's what I get for going out of town for a few days. Great fun catching up, as always.
Haha, thanks, John.
Yeah, buckwheat are toughies. I confess I am a bit lazy and do not try, other than the obvious Sierra buckwheats (Pussy Paws, Sulphur Plant).
I'm glad you found my blog so I could find yours - right up my alley!
nice blog, bravo
