Eriogonum Spathulatum Subsp. Spathuliforme

Spoonleaf buckwheat, scientifically known as Eriogonum spathulatum subsp. spathuliforme, is a unique member of the buckwheat family native to the western United States. This plant is characterized by its distinctive spoon-shaped leaves and delicate, clustered flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in rocky, arid environments and is often found in mountainous regions where it adapts to harsh conditions. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecological balance. Its resilience and beauty make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
