One of California's most iconic chaparral shrubs, Chamise🔥(Adenostoma fasciculatum) If you’ve hiked through Southern California recently, chances are you’ve seen this plant in bloom! Chamise is a defining species of chaparral habitats—dense, shrubby ecosystems adapted to our Mediterranean climate’s hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. These areas are naturally prone to wildfires, and Chamise has evolved to thrive in the face of fire, drought, and heat. #chamise #nativeplants #adenostomafasci
