Buckwheat! It has small flowers all around it, the leaves also come up the steam like a spiral.
I can tell this is California Buckwheat by the plant height and flower colors
there are no berries yet . however, there is a red vine and the 3 leaves that are shown in this id
I don’t see any berries yet. But there is a red vine and three shapes.
Hypothesized Quercus lobata x virginiana hybrid.
I am on the fence as to whether this is Q. virginiana or virginiana x lobata. It’s definitely strange looking. Might return to monitor acorn development.
Growing out of a fence next to a railway. Clearly not human planted, so consider voting for wild to counteract the data vandals.
Another observation I took of this tree, showing the developed caps: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/193996383
I’m stumped. Never seen anything like it out this way. Is there some blue oak in this?
Of course the trunk photos didn’t come out! Sorry.
