California Flannel Bush

This plant is not supposed to be here! It supposedly is at home in high chaparral country of California instead of next to the ocean in BC. It was obviously planted by someone and it has done quite well despite suffering being blown down with the main trunk parallel to the ground. It has taken me two years to identify it because we have never visited the site when it was in bloom. The common name comes from the hairy leaves the hairs of which can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
