A close-up photo of wild buckwheat, with clusters of reddish little closed flowers sprouting from a loose rosette of hairy green leaves.

I quickly fell in love with the sight of wild buckwheats in the Okanagan, like this parsnipflower buckwheat (Eriogonum heracleoides).

Naked Buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum) has one of the widest ecological ranges of any buckwheat species. It grows from wet coastal areas at sea level to the cold, dry elevations of the Sierra Nevada.
