give me some examples
Black and blue salvia. It comes back from rhizomes every year. There aren't many pests that eat the leaves. There's hummingbirds and bees all over mine.
Coneleaf cutflower. Blooms in the fall. Kind of takes over, though.
Zinnias are cheap and easy to grow. They'll reseed themselves but it's also easy to save the seeds.
Cockscomb
Bee balm
Pineapple sage
I have all of these in my back yard and they're pretty easy to deal with.

salvia.
I have some white salvia and the bees are all over them. I also try to keep zinnias, lantana, and verbena growing. Most of the flowering plants come from my vegetable garden.
That's a good list, Loup. I'll add camelias to it. They bloom over the winter months and the bumblebees love them.
Natives are always a great choice. You might consider something like swamp sunflowers which bloom late summer and into the fall. Swamp milkweed is also a good choice. Butterfly weed, oakleaf hydrangea, American beautyberry should all do well in south LA climate.
