What can live in the desert?

Besides cactus!!!

There are many HOW-TOs which talk about various ground covers, dwarf trees and everything in between. However, they are in Ohio or other more moderate climates.

Which of these things might live in Phoenix, AZ, with it’s 100+++ temps and STRONG sun in the summer. The other seasons aren’t too bad. Every now and then we get frost warnings but in general it’s very moderate (it hit 80 degrees today!).

Any other desert dwellers who might give hints about plants so I don’t kill a bunch of innocent vegetation?
