Textures of the coastal sage ecosystem

Shaw's agave (Agave shawii), a U.S. Federally-endangered species, surrounded by the rusty fronds of California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) at Cabrillo National Monument near San Diego.

My good friend, photographer Joel Sartore, liked this one so much he gave me the nickname "Rusty Buckwheat."
