All of these plants were found in the Southern California Coastal Region. This shrub was near Eucalyptus, no flowers to help ID though. This was also growing along Eucalyptus, it is right up against the trunk This grew close to the ground This had buds on it that looked like it was about to blossom, but nothing yet. This one also had small buds that had yet to blossom. They were in clusters. Got a couple close ups and one of the plant as a whole. This was found very close to the one before and at one point they looked like they were growing together. It had a prickly stem, made me think wild blackberry? Rubus? I suppose judging off of these pictures leaves many options this last one, but any ideas?
Heteromeles arbutifolia ? Symphoricarpos (mollis?) Venegasia carpesioides Ageratina adenophora Rubus ursinus ?
