Popweed, also called bladder pod, is one of the earliest blooming wildflowers here, a native. Not only does it bloom early, it blooms long, all through summer into fall.

You just gotta love that sweet little yellow face. Later when it sets, I'll show you a photo of its seed bladder that makes the popping sound when stepped on.
