I just read your page on the ABC's of plants and have a recommendation for E: Esperanza <br />http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/ornamentals/nativeshrubs/tecomastans.htm<br /><br />It's native to our region and makes clusters of happy yellow flowers all the way through the hot part of summer. It will sometimes freeze back in winter (mine did this year), but it springs right back up from the roots when the weather warms in spring.
