Q: What are the common plants that I see in center medians?
I live on the Peninsula in the bay area and i constantly see these beautiful plants/shrubs in the center medians. They have pink-ish blooms with dark green leaves. Anyone have any idea what they are?

Another possibility might be oleander. They are a common choice for center meridians and similar areas because they are hardy and low-maintenance, making them perfect for situations where pruning and watering might not be regular. Oleander have very dark green leaves, and pink or white blooms, typically. They are toxic if ingested, however.

Although the description is a bit vague I am pretty sure I know what your talking about. They are called Raphiolepis. They are native's and very climate friendly. Once established they are also very drought tolerant. They are one of the few blooming shrubs that look great indivdualy or in hedge form. You can buy 1 gallon or 5 gallon or ballerina (won't exceed more than 2-4 feet in size) Your local nursery will deffinately have them in stock.
