Anyone know what these are?  They started to show up around 4000'-5000' in elevation growing in gravel, and I saw them as high as 6000'.

Xerophyllum tenax, Bear's Grass. Melanthiaceae. Supposedly can be found as far south as Monterey CA, but most common up your way in the Fog belt, or subalpine Meadows (Wyoming ) Colonies of plant supposedly only flower en-masse every 5-7 years in habitat.
