Hello, I am new to this forum so please forgive me if my question is at the wrong place. I bought couple of new plant that are drought resistance since I live in California and I don't have sprinkler system set up in my planting area. Anyways, don't know what the plant is called (i tried to read it from the recipet but handwriwas bad so couldn't make up the words). here are some pictures. Its been little more than a week since i bought them and planted them in my front yard. Now, Location of the plant is such that they get shade in the morning/afternoon then completely sunny in afternoon/evening. I been watering them every other day (eventhough nursery where I bought them said that it should be every day to help them develope roots, but I figured if i water them too much, roots may be flooded with water so much that it may not uptake nutrients very well.) Usually, the soil is little bit wet when i water them every other day. All, i know is that its a shrub and i think its flowers are yellow. I broke a small branch off to see if they are dry inside but branch is green from inside. So I don't know if this is normal or not since they all look kind of sad and droppy. Nursery is like 30 mins away and I have two week return policy on it so don't want to dig it up and put it in the black vase that it came in and take it back to find out its ok. Can you please help me ID this shrub and tell me what is wrong with it (if there is any). Thank you.
Something looks odd about that soil. Has there been construction nearby? Kinda resembles the stucco on the wall behind the shrub. Lime from fresh concrete work could be fatal to weakened plant. You might have a Cistus if so it requires perfect drainage to do well. Though they are generally pink or white, but can have yellow markings. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2241/2195895086_84f512c3a6.jpg
