These flowers, which arrive annually in December to February, are called mustard and they either grow wild or are planted

Besides being beautiful to look at, the mustard plant also serves as an important cover crop for the vines. Mustard improves water penetration, keeps down the amount of dust on the vines and increases the amount of nitrogen in the soil. This yellow flower is also good at warding off pests. Mustard growth helps suppress nematode population. Nematodes are microscopic worms that can cause damage to vines. When soil temperatures reach about 60 degrees, nematodes can begin damaging the vines. The mustard seeds destroy the nematode's reproductive cycle because the worms don’t like the glucosinolates in the mustard, which gives the plant its pungent odor and sharp taste.
