Rant: This flyer in my Northern California hometown is advertising a native gardening info session - using a photo of completely non-native plants. (IDs in caption below.)

Plants in photo appear to be: Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos sp., native to Western Australia); century plant (Agave Americana, native to Mexico and adjacent deserts in SW USA); purple fountain grass (Pennisetum or Cenchrus setaceus 'Rubrum'; native to southern Africa); castor bean (Ricinus communis, native to east Africa and Mediterranean); blue chalksticks (Senecio or Curio repens, native to southern Africa). Any corrections, let me know!
