Well, since we have not heard from Bon, Could it be an introduced planting of something like heather? (Not Mexican heather sold in Garden centers.)

This is obviously growing in a woodland enviornment and not in Chapparal! It seems a bit small but then so are hummingbirds.

Your picture does look like it! I never knew that any kind of heather looked like that.

Thank you!
