Bear Grass looks like a grass, but really belongs to the lily family.  Its olive-colored, grass-like leaves grow from the base of the plant and are tough and wiry. The flowers of bear grass grow on a stalk that can be 5 feet tall with many small flowers. Each flower is creamy white, and saucer shaped, and has a sweet aroma. The lowest flowers bloom first, creating a tight knot of buds at the top. The entire flower looks a little like fluffy, upside down ice cream cone. Bear grass tends to flower in 5 to 7 year cycles. After the fruit sets, the plant dies. It reproduces by seed, and by sending out offshoots from its rhizomes.
