Honey Bee on Wild Radish Flower
Sonoma County, California
March 2010
by Dawn NicDarrah
From what I have read regarding the wild radish, these flowers are yellow because of cross pollination with mustard . . . looks like the honey bee has helped this evolution along. Wild Radish flowers are typically white with purple veins or white centers with purple tips on the petals.
