Flowering Cenizo, Lake Amistad, and the Highway 90 Bridge

Flowering purple cenizo in foreground with blue lake and bluff. Highway 90 bridge is far off in the distance.

Cenizo (Leucophyllum frutescens), also known as "purple sage" and "Texas sage," is very drought tolerant. When the relative humidity and heat are just right, these plants burst forth with small purple or white blooms that look spectacular against the blue backdrop of the reservoir.
