Hi Gary,

I can think of three more: Poppy Mallow, Sagebrush and Dandelions

I don't know that there is a list but, plants listed as drought resistant usually have deep taproots. That's why they are drought resistant. But then cactus and succulents are drought resistant. They don't have deep taproots, just wide ranging roots and the ability to store their own water supply.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
