Re: Another mystery plant

Nancy,

I think this is Eremophila decipiens.
According to Jo O'Connell, it's highly variable in color, ranging from white, pink to red, orange and yellow. 
I came home from her nursery near Ventura, with a yellow one.
What a great plant, loving sun, heat and dry soil; blooming its head off all summer and into winter. 
And, as Jo says, the more you cut it back, the more it blooms.

Hi All

Here's another one we don't know:

It was sold to us 20 years ago as 'Aurea' but that doesn't seem to be
correct. The plant is about 3 feet tall and 4 feet across.

Thanks in advance. We learn so much from this group.
