Monarch on Lantana "Irene"

Thats a beautiful shot Rosie!!!!

Very pretty picture TulsaRose. Thanks for showing it.

Lantana is on my gotta have next year list! Pretty picture!

Patty, you'll love it...but remember it's an Annual and won't overwinter there. It's not supposed to make it here, either, but it does in that wonderful, south facing micro-climate in front of the house. I planted the "Irene" about three years ago...one little piddly bedding plant and she gets huge now...about 2 1/2' tall by 3' wide at least. She has an upright growth while the gold sprawls all over the place.

I also have a really pretty "Pink Dawn" Lantana that has the upright habit. Don't pay any attention to the Gaura stems growing all through the Lantana in this picture.

Rosie, glad to see someone else refer to a plant as "she".
Ah ha...... so I'm not the only crazy one here !
Good to know !

Deb, I don't know how I got started doing that. Maybe because I raised three girls and have always had female dogs? And on top of that, I refer to the trees and shrubs as "he" or "him" so you tell me how nutz am I?

Comforting !!! LOL !
I think of my lemon tree as a "she". Maybe cuz she bears fruit?
Also, I always think of butterflies as girls.
Because they're pretty, I guess.
Hey.......someone's at the door.....uh-oh, is that white thing a strait jacket???? HELP !!!!!................

When he was still alive, everytime I would do or say something totally goofy, my Dad would tell me the men in white coats were coming for me. Thanks for giving me a good chuckle, Deb.

Got a million of 'em, Rosie !!
