I’m pretty sure this is is sagebrush. The flowers look right, and what I recall of the rest of the plant matches the descriptions.
Not that I have any photos of the rest of the plant. Admittedly, most of it was covered with these small yellow flowers, a giant fuzzy bush of soft spikes.
The flowers kinda grow on you as you contemplate them. At first it’s just a mass of yellow, but each one has a vividity all of its own, each trying its best to do its job.
The flowers were nearing the end of their cycle. At least I think so.
It was late October when I took this, after all. Not the season for flowers, really, but these ones were still giving their best. You can barely tell that they’re fading. For every one that’s brown and wilted, there’s two that are still going strong.
