This Austin Lantana is one of my faves in my yard. Hummingbirds and butterflies both love it. I love the red flowers. It has gone absolutely crazy in the yard. It’s smell is little to be desired but the overall plant is one of my faves.
My mom gave this to me about 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my baby. She came down a weekend and we went shopping. That shopping trip was my last “big” trip while being pregnant. It landed me in the hospital for weeks with pre-term labor. I’m a born shopper and can go for hours without sitting down or taking a rest. It was totally worth every minute. Now, when I look at the plant it reminds me of that special day and my special baby.
It is amazing how some things produce memories. What blessings memories are!
Blessings to you – You are loved!
What a sweet memory! And, we have lantana but I’ve never noticed a lot of activity. Ours is purple, though. We started with one little plant 3 years ago and it is really big now.
