According to Heath Bartosh. Low growing, earlier flowering than brassica. Maybe my resolution for this flowering season should be to really learn my yellow mustards...

Day 2 of one of the greatest vacations ever! Full journal of nature adventures here: http://www.inaturalist.org/journal/sambiology/9891-vacation-in-california-news-flash-i-like-california
Using the great existing observations from the San Francisco Bay area and species guide to help with the ID's -- but please correct me if I've goofed. Almost ALL of these organisms were new for me!
Explored Mount Diablo with the iNat folks. This was a wonderfully memorable day. :)
My pictures aren't nearly as good as these others from the iNat folks:
