Navarretia intertexta
This is another native plant that was here already when I moved in, in a few dry exposed spots (and I've noticed it beside the gravel road east of me, growing in pretty harsh conditions), and while lovely little white sparkles hover an inch off the ground now, they do turn into little stickery things. I used to pull it like the Fiddleneck, but one June day many years ago, I thought--I had better see if this is a native before I pull it all out. And it was. So I watch it, but I basically let it go...
