I have two kinds of sedum, one blooms a beautiful maroon and the other is a mauve/pink. I would love to have the narcissus bulbs....as much as you would like to share. Thanks!!!!!!

Since I posted I have come up with quite a few money saving ideas! :) And would you know it, the lychnis I have is part of it. I think I could work them right in to the landscaping. I am glad you think so, too. I am also thinking of substituting the barberry I was thinking of buying with my Burning Bushes I have. I am thinking the common privet I have as well. I really like the look of kolkwitzia - do you know if I can keep pruning it to keep it rather small? Thank you for your suggestion, Minnamouse!

You could try checking out Las Pilitas Nursery ( http://www.laspilitas.com/ ); it has quite an extensive database for native plants--including a native plant "finder" that will find something that suits your situation (though planting in proximity to the lawn might pose some issues from competition for nutrients). My personal favorites for California native plants are (as my ID indicates) Manzanitas (which aren't quite suitable to be placed nearby the lawn), California Fuchsias (these can be planted closer to the lawn if you want), Monkeyflowers (Mimulus guttatus can live nearby the lawn, being that it lives in riparian habitats in the wild), and Sages (there's so many aromatic sages in California, with some species capable of tolerating more water). California has quite diverse climate that produces various natives suitable for a multitude of environments; there's probably something that can work for you.
