The flower looks like something in family Ericaceae, perhaps one of the Vaccinium's discussed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilberry.Ken Ramos wrote:Thanks DougI thought that they might be some kind of Myrtle but after looking around at many images of Myrtle, I guess they are not.
Yep. Ericaceae is a tiny family with a HUGE variation in habit and habitat. It includes everything from heather to blueberry bushes to the pacific madrone tree. In my area there are several species that love dry sand.Ken Ramos wrote:The flowers look pretty close though, to what I have here, could just be a different variety.
