Encelia farinosa (Brittlebush)

Encelia farinosa, commonly known as Brittlebush, is a desert shrub native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is known for its gray-green leaves covered in a powdery substance, which help the plant conserve water in arid climates. The plant produces bright yellow flowers that bloom from February to May, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Brittlebush typically grows to a height of 3-6 feet and has a width of 3-5 feet.
