Educating Ourselves

California Buckwheat 

We are a bit fascinated and very interested in the local fauna and flora.  Species unknown to us and not seen where we live are all around.  For example, this California buckwheat led me to discover that buckwheat is NOT a member of the grass family, not related to cereal or wheat.  It is related to the sorrel and rhubarb family.  Who woulda thunk?  The Estuary is filled with such variety as this.  To see flora we collected today, the sighting of an Anna's Hummingbird, and a great sunset, please visit Flickr.
