“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.”
