    Oregano? Is the foliage aromatic when you crush it? If so, of what?

    Closeups of the leaves and flowers would help us immensely....

    Here is a close up of the bush. Very fragrant. No flowers.

    Given your location and the plant's size I'd guess it's a Salvia.

    I was thinking that also, it looks like that native one (S. leucophylla?) that is in general commerce.

    Yes it is an oregano. Just had it confirmed by a nursery. Thank you!

    The one I was thinking of is S. clevelandii.
