ps - 06/25/10 - I originally posted this as unknown fluff. It's a common chaparral plant in CA, but no one has ever pointed it out to me and I simply didn't know. Like most grasses and many trees, it's one of those plants that doesn't usually catch my attention as a newbie plant lover. Thanks to Cindy at Dipper Ranch I now have an ID.
