In the large shrub to small tree category, you can select from the pink, trumpet flowered desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), the brilliant magenta blooming western redbud (Cercis occidentalis) and the flannel bush (Fremontodendron californicum).
Included in this list are the orange-flowered lion's ear (Leonotis Leonurus), the yellow-flowered flannel bush (Fremontodendron) and Jerusalem sage (Phlomis fruticosa), rockrose (Cistus), angel's trumpet (Brugmansia) and Iochroma cyaneum, this last shrub famous for its tubular purple flowers.
The downside of the flannel bush is its flannel, an eminently inhalable fluff that covers its leaves.
