At Joshua Tree Park, they are found in abundance. The valley is called Yucca valley after it. In the background are million year old rocky outcrops that are really fascinating.
Dasiphora is a genus of three species of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa, ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, but genetic evidence has shown it to
Osteospermum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower/daisy family Asteraceae. They are known as the daisybushes or African daisies. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. Osteospermum used to belong to the genus Dimorphotheca, but only the annual species remain in that genus; the perennials belong to Osteospermum. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or sub-shrubs. 25843
I'm not to sure what it is called though, photo was taken in Bridgnorth Shropshire...

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 21981

"Like many other songbirds, the male Song Sparrow uses its song to attract mates as well as defend its territory. Laboratory studies have shown that the female Song Sparrow is attracted not just to the song itself, but to how well it reflects the ability of the male to learn. Males that used more learned components in their songs and that better matched their song tutors (the adult bird they learned their songs from) were preferred."

"We can watch the downy woodpecker best in winter when the trees and shrubs are bare. But even in such an exposed situation as a leafless tree, we do not find it a conspicuous bird--one hop and it is hidden behind a branch, seeming almost to glide out of our sight. At the slightest alarm it disappears; it uses a branch as a shield--slipping behind it, safe from observation or attack.
"The bird is at home also in shrubbery, moving easily among the smaller branches, hitching along their slender length, picking at the bark, and leaping from one branch to another with the aid of a flip of the wings. It sits crosswise on a perch scarcely bigger than a twig, leaning forward a little, bill outstretched, suggesting in position and outline a tiny kingfisher.
“Here, at close range, on a level with our eyes, we realize how rapid the bird's motions are. The beak strikes and draws back--the two movements in a single flash. The head turns to one side, to the other side, bringing first one dark shining eye, then the other, to bear on the bark; we see the head in the two positions, although we get only a hint of the motion between."

This Beautiful Coloured Shrub Dominates this Front Garden Scene ..........Ceanothus is a genus of about 50–60 species of nitrogen-fixing shrubs and small trees in the buckthorn family. Common names for members of this genus are buckbrush, California lilac, soap bush, or just ceanothus. .
Privet berries are the dark blue-black fruits of the Ligustrum genus of shrubs, known to be poisonous to humans and causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting if ingested. While toxic to humans, the berries are a food source for many birds and are often found in clusters on the branches, ripening in the late summer or fall.
The fruits are poisonous to humans but readily eaten by birds, making it possible for the seeds to spread far and wide.
Бирючина звичайна (Ligustrum vulgare) — отруйна багаторічна рослина родини маслинових, також широко відома під народною назвою во́вчі я́годи.
Крім того, в Україні цьому виду надають назви, пов'язані із властивостями його плодів. Найвідоміша з них — вовчі ягоди — притаманна також деяким іншим чагарникам з чорними ягодами. Виникнення цієї назви обумовлене отруйністю плодів бирючини (несправжніх ягід), які можуть заподіяти шкоди не тільки людині, а й тваринам. Народні назви жость, жості́р, жи́молодь вказують на зовнішню подібність плодів бирючини звичайної до ягід таких лісових чагарників як жостір проносний, крушина ламка, жимолость чорна. Серед маловідомих діалектних назв для цього виду вказують курослі́пник (поширена на Поділлі), фадьолина чи фадьольник (відома лише на Верховині).
Бирючина (лат. Ligústrum) — род растений семейства Маслиновые, включающий в себя около 40—50 видов вечнозелёных, полувечнозелёных и листопадных кустарников и маленьких деревьев. Виды бирючины распространены в Европе, Северной Африке, Азии и в Австралии, с центром разнообразия в Гималаях, Китае, Японии и на Тайване.
Растение красиво цветет белыми соцветиями. Цветы и листья его не ядовиты, а вот черные ягоды – при употреблении вызывают сильную рвоту, головокружение, диарею, потерю сознания, а в редких случаях даже возможен смертельных исход.
Увага! Вживання лише 5 ягід викликає вірну смерть. Особливо отруйна бирючина блискуча. Якщо ви випадково отруїлися вовчими ягодами, необхідно терміново вжити відповідних заходів щодо очищення шлунка і викликати швидку допомогу.
Плоды округлой формы, представляют собой блестящую круглую ягоду темно-синего цвета. Для людей ядовиты. Цветки белые, ароматные, собраны в черешчатые метельчатые соцветия. Цветение в июне-июле.
Это растение содержит гликозид сирингин (лигустрин), и шикимовую кислоту. Кислота-матушка эта известна тем, что является канцерогеном третьего класса в соответствии с отчетами Международного агентства по изучению рака. Хорошая новость в том, что при обжаривании шикимовая кислота разрушается. Но стоит ли оно того, ведь хватает обычных безопасных ягод. Частые симптомы отравления — боль в животе/головные боли, тошнота, рвота, диарея, низкое артериальное давление.
Physocarpus, commonly called ninebark, a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae.
Physocarpus are deciduous shrubs with alternately arranged leaves. The leaves are palmate with 3 to 7 lobes and often toothed edges. The inflorescence is a cluster of bell-shaped flowers with 5 rounded white or pink petals and many stamens. The fruit is a flat or inflated dehiscent follicle. The genus name Physocarpus comes from the Greek for "bladder fruit", referring to the inflated fruits of some species. The common name ninebark refers to the peeling bark of mature branches, which comes away in strips.
Physocarpus opulifolius is cultivated as an ornamental plant.
