| Mustard Blossoms, Sky - Point Reyes 2021 |
"Summer mustard, sometimes also called short-pod mustard (Hirschfeldia incana) and black mustard (Brassica nigra) are common rangeland weeds on California's Central Coast. Summer mustard seems to be the more common species. It usually lives for two years or sometimes longer, can grow up to 4 feet tall, and has pale yellow flowers (DiTomaso, Kyser et al. 2013). Black mustard, on the other hand, is an annual plant and is taller (growing up to 6 feet tall), with flowers that are brighter yellow than summer mustard." (Rao, How to Control Mustard with Grazing).
