Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Field Pennycress

Found in my own yard. This particular specimen is about a foot tall.

I can't come up with anything interesting about this plant, except that it's a member of the Mustard family.

Blossoms: tiny four-petaled things in clusters at the top of a stem:

The seed pods are small, flat ovals, lobed at the top.
