Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: wild Buckwheat

This is definitely a species of Eriogonum, possibly flavum (?) or maybe Umbellatum var subalpinum? Seen on the Picklejar Lakes trail, in Kananaskis, Alberta, on 6 August 2010. Location on my map is only very approximate. "Eriogonum is the scientific name for a genus of flowering plants, in the family Polygonaceae. The genus is found in North America and is known as wild buckwheat." From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriogonum
