| While my 3 acres are mostly barren, these shrubs seem to be natural natives and so I have preserved them. I plan on adding more natural plants to eventually form a nice xeriscape landscape and may like to incorporate more of the specimins already growing naturally on my property however, I am not sure what they are.
Plants have been pictured on my website at http://alpinespringsranch.com/garden.html Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

| "Buckwheat" and # 4 are both Larrea tridentata #5 is a Chamaesyce sp. #6 looks like Croton (Eremocarpus" setigera. |

| I agree wtih nonmember, #6 looks like turkey mullein. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/turkey_mullein.html I've found the UC Davis site helpful in identifying weeds. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/broad_preview.html |

| #5 & #6 are weeds and not natives Check the link below to check out the natives that occur in your region and to see their images. Buckwheat is definitely the Larrea species. #1 could be a Senecio or an Artemis or ??? #2 a Purshia ??? #3 is Equisetum arvense and SHOULD BE REMOVED as could be toxic to your horses. #4 looks like a Rhus but probably something else but not Larrea as it is old enough to be flowering as the Buckwheat. |
