Native Plant Garden

I came across a couple native plant gardens, while wandering around up on the USU campus. Fun to fine, when on college campuses there tends to be a lot of lawn and mass plantings (necessary for the large-scale nature of the landscape, but still a bit boring).

Chocolate flower (Berlandiera lyrata)…the smell is far better than the appearance, and this one even looks quite nice.

Here is a fun fall combo, rabbit brush,(Chrysothamnus nauseosus) desert 4 o’clock (Mirabilis multiflora), and sunset hyssop (Agastache rupestris).

Rabbit brush,(Chrysothamnus nauseosus) and Zauschneria (Epilobium canum….or Zauschneria latifolia if you don’t care about botanical name changes.)
