They're Popping Up Everywhere-- Plagiobothrys nothofulvus, the Popcorn Flower

Don’t let its name fool you-- the popcorn flower does not really smell like popcorn.  It does, however, bear a resemblance to everybody’s favorite movie time snack.  Plagiobothrys nothofulvus can be found growing in grassy fields in the northwestern United States (LBJ Wildflower Center 2014, Rickett 1971) .  Click on Habitat to learn more about the conditions that popcorn flowers “pop up” best in.
