They were growing by a creek in the San Gorgonio Wilderness at about 7,500 feet. | ||||

The white flower isn't a Phlox...
It has a Compound Umbel structure How tall was it? What type of soil was it growing in Full sun , shade etc.... looks like some sort of onion or? I'll will endeavor to persevere I'm guessing it's wet, moist soil, partial shade in a stream side environment similar to the Lemon Lily |

Yep. For a sense of the scale, note there is a bee in the photo. Here's a large panorama of the stream bank to get another idea of how tall the plants are:
