Buckwheat flowers are small, delicate blooms that grow on the buckwheat plant, which is not a true grain but a seed related to rhubarb. These flowers typically appear in clusters and can be white, pink, or light green, attracting various pollinators like bees and butterflies. The flowering period usually occurs in late summer. The buckwheat plant is valued for its ability to thrive in poor soil conditions and its quick growth cycle. Besides being a source of nectar for pollinators, the flowers are also important for producing buckwheat honey, a dark, flavorful honey known for its rich taste and health benefits.
