Perhaps succulents? Most pelargoniums can tolerate a lot of deprivation without loss of leaf or flower.

My favourite Acacia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_podalyriifolia

It's the only one that smells strongly of "Baby Powder" to me and I love it's silvery leaves


Yeah I should get back into the whole gardening plotting and planning thing...summer here has been a great disappointment and right now I am waiting for the cooler weather to do something about it.

I am to understand that California planted a great many Eucalypts but forgot to devise a Fire plan...it was so sad to watch as Oaklands went up all those years ago.

I remember that fire well. Driving back from bicycling with the wife and kiddo it was hard to tell where the fire was. Fortunately it was in the hills and we're along the bay. I remember seeing burning debris wafting down the freeway. Pretty freaky. Good luck with the drought. If things don't pick up here soon, we're going into one too.
