About Eriogonum nidularium Coville
Eriogonum nidularium Coville gets its common name from its resemblance to a bird nest. It has a rounded growth form that rarely grows taller than 30 centimeters. Its curving twigs are mostly bare, with small leaves growing primarily at the base of the plant. When blooming, the plant produces tiny, fan-shaped hanging flower clusters at nodes along its thin stem branches. The flowers range from yellowish to pinkish in color, and sometimes have small streaks of bright red.
