Lantanas, a perennial in the verbena family, grew to bush size in California but grow into trees in Mexico, if not trimmed back. I love the variety of blooms in different stages on each plant.

I loved these flowers when I was a kid. We had some growing in our So. Cal. back yard that were purple….my favorite color!

I’ve never seen purple ones. Didn’t know they came in any colors other than orange/red and yellow! Now I must look them up.

A beautiful plant… I, too, love the different types of flowers on the same plant! I had never seen it before. (I was going to add it to my patio collection… but it can be very poisonous to animals not aware of it!) I will enjoy it in nature.. without the dog.

I had never heard that! I had a huge one in my back yard but for some reason had to cut it down. I think it was blocking the path. This one is actually outside my wall, between the wall and the sidewalk so probably just as well as I have three dogs.

I google everything… cause I don’t know much about my hobbies… I know what I know… but as soon as I learn something new… I learn how much I still don’t know?
