Reminds me of the Tremors movie…. Better watch out!
1 year agoReminds me of some of the stuff I saw in Argentina/Chile in February. Also lichen, not moss, like Bill’s description.

Agreed
1 year agoVery similar, and very often confused, but this one is queen Anne's lace. Notice the tiny dark red spot in the center of each flowerhead. Stems are also markedly thinner, and if you crush the leaves and sniff, this has a distinctive, somewhat pleasant aroma.

Perennial pea.

Might be Nevada sweet pea.

Tasty, but not very juicy.

Matches western bumble bee photos.

Pale swallowtail.

You are correct... Not a dandelion. Notice branched flower stalks. Looks like probably cat's ear.

Might be ocean spray.

The stuff in the south is actually not even closely related. It is an epiphyte (flowering plant that grows on things but is not parasitic).
This is some kind of beard lichen. Not parasitic, but not a flowering plant, rather a fungus that is symbiotic with an algae.
