Rusty popcornflower (Plagiobothrys nothofulvus) is a spring wildflower that also goes by the name of foothill snowdrops. It’s an indigenous North American species. You’ll find it flourishing in open woodlands and dry grasslands. Its cream-colored flowers look particularly attractive in rock gardens.

Plagiobothrys jonesii is an annual herb growing mostly upright or erect, approaching a maximum height near 40 cm. It is hairy in texture, the hairs rough, sharp, and bristly. The leaves alternately arranged along the stem are up to 10 cm long. The inflorescence is a series of tiny white flowers each 1 to 3 millimeters wide.

Valley popcornflower is a delicate, herbaceous plant distinguished by its soft, grayish-green foliage and small, white to pale blue flowers. Each flower has a tubular structure and is nestled within bristly calyces, a characteristic feature. Thriving in well-drained, open habitats, valley popcornflower tends to blanket the ground, forming low mats that help it conserve moisture and resist the harsh sunlight.

Netted popcornflower boasts a delicate demeanor with clusters of small, white funnel-like flowers that adorn its hairy stems. This herbaceous perennial thrives in moist, open fields, where its intricate, net-veined leaves can spread out. Seasonal changes prompt netted popcornflower to display a modest height, revealing its adaptability to diverse ecological niches.
