We've got desert museum palo verdes that are really struggling here, I think it's the cooler nights. I keep trying to grow some Mexican bird of paradise from seed but no luck so far. The desert willow is doing well, and a Deodor pine, and an arizona rosewood- and the marigolds and petunias seem to love it. But I suspect I've been under watering a lot of things because they are drought tolerant, but I think this area just gets too little rain to contribute enough. But you should have seen the wildflowers after the heavy winter rains last year!
This is a pic of what's native here-Joshua's, chollas, yuccas, and catclaw acacias, with a few hedgehog cacti here and there. I'm getting a grape arbor started just so my eyes can feast on some deep green!
