Native Plant
Damianita
Chrysactinia mexicana
Damianita is a tidy evergreen mound that bursts into yellow and smells, when you brush it, like the Hill Country an hour after rain — resinous, clean, faintly medicinal. Loves heat, rock, and full sun; resents being coddled. Bulletproof, and a little smug about it. 💛

Bees · butterflies
A low evergreen mound that covers itself in yellow daisies until you can barely see the green. Aromatic, tough, and made for caliche — that miserable white rock most plants treat as a death sentence and this one treats as home.
