Shrubby Skullcap (Scutellaria wrightii) in full bloom. It grows to about 1 ft wide and 8 inches tall. There is always room in a garden for one more small plant like this. :)

My low water garden with lots of native rocks. Flowering in this picture are Golden Fleece and Desert Lavender.
Golden Fleece (Dyssodia pentachaeta) here and there among the rocks, with its almost non-stop flowers making a bright spot in the garden.
Desert Lavender (Hyptis emoryi) glowing in the sunshine full of tiny purple flowers year round for all the bees and hummingbirds. Must stop here to smell the fragrant flowers.
