A bright and cheerful Lantana to start your week right.

I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.” ~ John Barrowman

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

Lantana, Baho-baho/Today's Flowers #19

@ mirandablue

We call this flower baho-baho which means stinky.  Lantana or shrub verbenas' aromatic flower clusters (called umbels) are a mix of red, orange, yellow, or blue and white florets. The flowers typically change color as they mature, resulting in inflorescences that are two- or three-colored. A common name for Lantana camara is "Ham 'n Eggs" due to the adjacent pink and yellow inflorescences.
