Ancient Sierra Juniper (Eriogonum incanum), Lake Tahoe region, California, USA
Eriogonum incanum is a species of wild buckwheat known by the common name frosted buckwheat. It is native to the Sierra Nevada of California and extreme western Nevada. It is also known from Oregon. This is a dioecious perennial herb which forms mats up to 20 centimeters tall and 30 wide, sometimes quite a bit smaller. It has clusters of woolly, petioled leaves one to two centimeters long which form a gray-green or yellowish layer on the sandy soil or among rocks. The plant bears dense, rounded clusters of flowers, sometimes on erect stalks, which are yellow, red, or both. Male plants produce staminate flowers 2 or 3 millimetres wide and female plants produce slightly larger pistillate flowers

This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an Ancient Sierra Juniper, also known as Eriogonum incanum, in the picturesque Lake Tahoe region of California, USA. The frosted buckwheat, as it is commonly called, thrives in the stunning landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and western Nevada. It can even be found gracing parts of Oregon. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported to a world where nature's artistry takes center stage. This dioecious perennial herb forms delicate mats that reach heights of up to 20 centimeters and spread up to 30 centimeters wide. Sometimes smaller but always enchanting. The clusters of woolly leaves with their petioles create a soft gray-green or yellowish layer against sandy soils or nestled among rocks. But it is when this plant blooms that its true magnificence shines through. Dense rounded clusters burst forth with vibrant yellow and red flowers - a breathtaking sight for any observer lucky enough to witness it. It is important to note that male plants produce staminate flowers measuring 2-3 millimeters wide while female plants bear slightly larger pistillate flowers. Through Danita Delimont's lens, we are granted a glimpse into the wonders nature has bestowed upon us in this corner of the world.
