Bladderpod

c. 1977-1989, Donald W. (Hank) Nicol, Notes from the Naturalist, page 50, The bladderpod (Isomeris arborea) is a pretty bush. It has loads of bright yellow flowers and the punching bag seed pods that give it its name. But, to be honest, it stinks!

As early as February, the ground between creosote bushes begins to turn yellow as masses of bladderpod^([Lesquerella gordoni]) start to bloom.

Bladderpod^([Isomeris arborea]) is fast growing, and the yellow flowers and blue-green foliage are attractive in mass plantings.
