Silverswords

[Mitzi M]

Cat, I think what you may be seeing there is mullein, an introduced plant with fuzzy gray-green leaves and a tall flower stalk with a few small yellow flowers open at a time. The stalk usually dries on the plant and stays there for some time.

Someone else told me there were silverswords all along the saddle road - I think this may be what they saw too.
