Originated From Spain: Tradition has it the padres brought wild mustard seeds with them from Spain to the New World.
Traveling from mission to mission, exploring California, the padres scattered the wild mustard seeds along the path to create a golden pathway home.
When the explorers returned in spring the mustard plants flowered.
The blooms were a bright mustard yellow color.
