Bluntleaf Yellow-cress
Rorippa curvipes
This is growing from below the plank to the Klamath Wildlife Preserve on the other side of the tracks off Highway 97.
I'd lay odds this little lovely is a cress of some kind. I also found it scattered around in Farmer Phil's ditch.
This one has to be pretty tall because there's about a foot of water and then a foot of clearance to the walkway.
The plants in Farmer Phil's ditch ranged from 4-9 inches. Alkaline, wet to moist soils.
