unknown plant from Montana
«

Can someone identify the plants in the attached image? This was growing on vertical limestone on the approach to HogBack Mountain, east of Helena, Montana. The plants were upwards of 3 feet across. Amazing cliff-hugging adaptability. No close-up, as I had to use a telephoto to pull in the plants.
Thanks,

Hi, Jim! Welcome to the site! Nice to see you posting here.
I'd suggest your mystery plant may well be the famous
