It smells a little like cheese. This is native to California deserts, but there is another non-native moderately invasive plant called cheese weed. That one can be cooked like okra and the fruits are these little nutty-flavored things that look like wheels of cheese, which is where the name comes from. The fruits are good on salads.

My mother always told me cheese doesn't grow on trees. Apparently she was right. It grows on bushes. Does that mean cheese is technically a berry?

Kind of ironic that this is a picture of a cheesebush. I guess that means it's smiling?
