Mellow Yellow Monday # 37: Lantana

@ mirandablue
 Colorful Lantana, locally known as baho-baho [stinky], blooms all year-round.  The scent of this flower is unpleasant to humans, but butterflies love it and so does my dog, Fritz.

"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of a lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.  If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness." ~ Therese of Lisieux

  4. Baho-baho pala name ng flower na ito. I forgot what it's called in Davao but we also say baho for stinky. So colorful!
