FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersMost plants can be identified positively only by their scientific (Latin) names. We will also list regional English and Spanish vernacular (common) names when we know them. Scientific names are officially recognized worldwide and are validated by the regular reports of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, which also lists retained synonyms. On the other hand, there is really no such thing as a common name for the vast majority of the planet’s 300,000 species of flowering plants.


Antigonon leptopus has more than a dozen vernacular names in the Southwest, including, queen’s wreath, coral vine*, confederate vine, San Miguel, coronillo, Mexican creeper, love vine*, chain of love, mountain rose*, queen’s jewels, and bellissima. The starred (*) names are shared by other, unrelated plants


Simmondsia chinensis





English names: jojoba, goat nut, deer nut, pignut, wild hazel, quinine nut, coffeeberry, gray box bush


Spanish name: jojoba





Jojoba is currently the Sonoran Desert’s second most economically valuable native plant, overshadowed only by the Washington palms used in ornamental horticulture. Most people have at least heard of it though they may not know its proper pronunciation (hoe-HOE-buh).





Description


This is a woody, evergreen shrub, averaging 2 to 5 feet (0.6-1.5 m) tall and wide, sometimes to 10 feet (3 m), with leathery, grayish-green leaves. The pale green female flowers of this dioecious species are borne singly at each leaf node. The yellowish-green male flowers are borne in clusters. Plants bloom in winter and female plants ripen their acorn-shaped and -sized seeds in summer.


Acacia constricta





English name: whitethorn acacia


Spanish names: huizache, vinorama, chaparro prieto (squat and dark), vara prieta (dark stick), gigantillo (little giant), largoncillo





Description


This acacia is a large, deciduous shrub 6 to 10 feet (2-3 m) tall with twice-compound, gray-green leaves. It can become a small tree in deep soil. Inch-long (2.5 cm), white spines are prominent on young plants; mature shrubs are often thornless. The flowers are bright yellow balls of stamens; they bloom in late spring and again after summer rains.





Acacia greggii


English names: catclaw acacia, wait-a-minute bush


Spanish names: uña de gato (cat’s claw), tésota, gatuño, palo chino (Chinese stick), tepame, algarroba





Description


Catclaw is a deciduous shrub or small tree, sometimes 20 feet (6 m) tall, but usually less than half that. The stems bear curved, very sharp prickles. Gray-green, twice-compound leaves with small leaflets are seldom dense enough to block the view through the plant. The pale yellow flowers are borne in dense, short catkins in late spring.





Calliandra eriophylla


English name: fairy duster


Spanish names: cosahui, huajillo, cabeza (pelo) de ángel (angel’s head, angel’s head hair)





Fairy duster (Calliandra eriophylla)


Description


This is a spreading shrub, usually about 2 feet (60 cm) tall and twice as wide with sparse semi-evergreen foliage of small, twice-compound, leaves. One-inch (2.5 cm) mimosoid flower heads are pale to deep pink. The plants flower profusely in late winter and sporadically at almost any season in response to good rains.

Reply:Hemerocalis = Lily





Day lily blossoms each bloom for just one day but, keep producing blooms for several weeks.


Asiatic Lily blooms last for several days and and have a number of blooms on each stem.


Oriental Lily blooms also last for several days and have multiple blooms on each stem.





The deer really like all of the lily blossoms...and the rabbits are partial to the buds.
