We have a lot of plants...on our drip system we have mesquite trees, palo verde trees, fan palms, ocotillo (love!)...one of my faves, bougainvillea (also SO love), hibiscus, lots of grasses - red fountain grass poofs and deer grass, pampas grass, oleander, cat's claw vine on our fence, candelilla (sp?) also LOVE this (attaching picture of candelilla), some cacti.
In pots I have some more bougainvillea and hibiscus, lantana, celosia, pencil plant, and some sedums.

Did you get the light or dark celosia? Mine are all planted together and the light ones are faded and haven't really grown much. The dark ones have about doubled in size. I water them every other day about 8am.
I had to look up ocotillo. I see those everywhere around here but didn't know the name. I see them at the nursery and they have them in very sandy dirt. It says once you plant them it could be 2 or 3 years until they bloom. Otherwise just tall spikes.
Our lantana died but we didn't plant it right away. Many of the neighbors have them in red and orange and they are doing good. We got the purple one.
