For me at 6840 feet in southern Sierra Nevada range, it's sulphur buckwheat, thick-leaved salvia (S. pachyphylla), and a couple species of beardtongue. I should try ceanothus and will look into that one!

This is about focusing on your local ecosystem, and it only makes sense to shop local for those plants too. Best of luck and remember, gardening is all about making happy mistakes.
