I have always been fascinated with these flowers because, as the individual blossoms age, their color changes. So each plant can have flowers with many different colors, even on the same stem!

I love lantana too, ever since I saw it growing wild in the mountains of Costa Rica. Masses and masses of colors.
It's beautiful, all right. Unfortunately, it's also highly invasive in places like Hawaii, Australia, and the Galapagos.
Fascinating color shifter.
The changing age of this plant might attract different types of insects.
