    Oh what pretty lantana you have. I used to grow this in NM but haven't purchased any and am not sure it will grow in the colder Colorado climate.

    Hi Susan...

    Ohhh...your Lantana really are gorgeous, my friend! I love the first photo of the pink and yellow Lantana...soooo very pretty! I know that Lantana really do like the heat. They grew "in the wild" in south Texas. After seeing yours...I am reminded of just how much I miss the Lantana that bloomed at my home down there! I'm not sure if they would grow here in Colorado or not.

    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful flowers with us today and...thank you for hosting another week of Outdoor Wednesday!!! I'm just tickled pink that I could join in with the fun! I hope that my note finds you and your dear family all doing well, Susan!

    Warmest summery wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design

    Your Lantana is just gorgeous. It is one of my favorite annuals now as it grows well here with sun and rain (which we've had lots of!). Pamela

    Lantana reminds me of my grandmother. I have fond memories of playing with the seeds as a child. Yours is so healthy. You must have a nice sunny area.

    Oh, I love lantana. Too cool for much of it up in Seattle. I used to see huge hedges of it in LA. The different colors of it fascinated me as a child in NY.

    I planted some this summer. Every time I think they're doing well, along comes the Squirrel to dig them up. Do they reseed themselves. I have mine in pots but am thinking of planting some in the ground...
    You certainly have a green thumb. Everything you've shown is doing so well.
    Thanks for hosting.

    Stunning selection of color...I do enjoy these flowers...though might have to remove mine since we are getting livestock and they are apparently toxic to them :(
