I've got this native bush growing in the front side of the yard, Netleaf Forestiera, kin to Elbowbush. It takes up space, nothing showy about it, but I've resisted taking it out for one reason. In late winter, it blooms, little tiny blooms. And the nectar-hungry insects are happy to see ANYTHING blooming like that! A Red Admiral, nectaring on it today! Soon, the Arizona Ash and the Agarita will be blooming.
