Our side yard is a wide expanse of weeds, grass, and wildflowers. One midday walk in my garden, I happened to see a lonely plant in a sea of weeds and grass, sporting brightly-hued flowers.
My first instinct was to dismiss it as a wildflower, but something about the beauty of the blooms drew me close. When I got near, what do you know! It’s one of those lantana colors I’ve been wanting to have.
To tell you frankly, there’s a dense jungle of trees and bushes near Cousin A’s place and at the edge, wild lantana bushes are thriving robustly. I’ve been meaning to, er, steal some cuttings but I was too shy to creep up to it and snip me some, heh.
Once I saw these beauties, I immediately saved me some branches for my island garden. :)
