A delightful curving stem accented with tiny five-petaled yellow and white flowers sitting up on raised stems. I love the view of its curve covered in buds, moving infinitely back in space... or so it seems. And imagine a row of these tall bushy shrubs covered in these curvaceous yellow sprays! A favorite spot for hummingbirds!

Tournefortia, commonly known as Soldierbush, is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae.

Tournefortia staminea was first published under the name Pittonia by Charles Plumier in 1703, in honor of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort. Later, Carl Linnaeus changed the name to Tournefortia, on the grounds that Tournefort was virtually unknown by his family name outside France. Now you've heard of him too. A lovely reminder!
