First flowers of native Miner's Lettuce
These are the first new flowers of native Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata, Montiaceae) that I've seen this year. The grown-together "connate leaves" that surround the stems make a delicious salad. The plant is kind of a weed in our garden - and around the world. (San Marcos Pass, 29 January 2022)
