I used to call these macros - ya folks here on UHH set me straight. I took quick a ride up and over the Sierra Mnts today Pioneer, CA to and from Minden, NV 160 mi round trip- while we stopped for a quick smoke break I found the strange to me white bulb type "things" and while shooting them I found the wasps/hornets willing to pose for me.

Are they growing on the plant stem?
If so, they may be a gall of some type.
It may be full of a type of aphids. They excrete honeydew.

Don't know what it is - I have been in and around this location so many times over the past 50+ yrs and never remember seeing this plant - it really caught my eye and then to find these willing models was a real treat.
