A variety of Arizona wildflowers, mostly from the Desert Botanical Garden.
My personal favorite was the chocolate flower, which smells exactly like chocolate, and you can smell from yards away. If it weren’t wildly out of its growing zone, I’d be filling my garden with it.
2023 Note: It’s not wildly out of my gardening zone, and I’ve grown it several times since finding seeds.
