Looking for species of a landscape shrub used in Tucson landscapes. It is a smallish shrub with small, bluish fuzzy leaves. Blooms are globe shaped and covered with tiny orange “flowers”. Any information?

The orange ball tree (Buddleya globosa) has flowers similar to what you have described, but it can grow up to 15 feet, so I doubt it is the same shrub you are seeing.

I have a feeling you are thinking of the Pride of Barbados shrub (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) but I wouldn't say the flowers are globe shaped.

Here is some I took when we were in Phoenix years ago.
