What survives and pretty much thrives in the worst drought? We're in Exceptional Drought, pretty much in some stage of drought since 2006. What I can think of offhand are plants like Esperanza, Cenizo, Mexican Firebush, Woolly Ironweed, Lace Cactus, Red Yucca, Desert Willow, Anacacho Orchid Tree, Four-nerve Daisy and gayfeather. But even some of my most reliable plants are going dormant in some form, some just not blooming or growing at all unless they get rain for a while, assuming they are not watered.
