This is for my friends Down Under, many of whom consider lantanas to be more pests than pretty flowers. :D

I love lantana :-) There are varieties here that don't set seeds and these are perfectly fine to grow. #10362910Mary K. Robison October 10, 2012
Bobby, Ann, Tiia, and Barbara, thanks very much for commenting. I appreciate it.Paul E. Earl October 10, 2012
It is a pretty weed though. Even though it does take over vast tracts of land. A pretty capture. #10362952frank w. degenhardt October 10, 2012
Sort of one mans trash is another mans treasure thing. I am not sure why they feel that way as these are such gorgeous flowers and attract the butterflies. I love the colors and you really got close in so we can see each little bloom that makes up the ball. Gorgeous work dear friend. Have a wonderful day. #10362988Douglas Pignet October 10, 2012

I find it very beautiful, Mary! Fantastic colours and details. #10363970John Connolly October 10, 2012
Marvelous color and clarity Mary! Unfortunately this plant grows like wildfire here, and is very difficult to eradicate from our National Parks and farms! #10364025Ellen Hodges October 10, 2012
Absolutely gorgeous colors and details, Mary! Butterflies love them, that's for sure! #10364068Mary K. Robison October 11, 2012
