Lantana Blooms in Garden

Sharing a quick photo of my Lantana blooms in my deck garden. Was out watering this morning and took a photo to share with you. These blooms always brighten my day with the red, yellow and orange blooms. We had a few raindrops fall while I was out in the garden. That will probably be all of the rain we get for now. The summertime heat is still around of course. The birds have fresh water. The sun is shining nice and bright. Got everything done for now outside. Time to start a few projects inside. Plans for you all today? Enjoy your day everyone.

@crazyhorseladycx That is too bad. A drought can take everything. I like perennials too.

Lantana spreads very easily and is poisonous to stock but it is very pretty and easy to grow.

@CarolDM I hate to say this; but I'm enjoying MyLot so much more than V...although I do like the variety of posts that you can make on V. I'm still deciding. Very slow earning.

@LindaOHio Oh I agree and I told you the main reason I am there... It takes awhile to get the earrings up and then it's nothing great.

Yes, that yellow one is what caught my eye. The other plants have more orange blooms. These are very tiny blooms.

I am so jealous! I have planted Lantanas at least six times. they all die. The do not survive the season usually but never the winter. That was in California where the winters are not all that cold, Texas where they can but don't often get that cold, and here in Oregon. I just must be doing something terribly wrong.

Oh no, I just put these out on my deck. They get full sun and I water them. Nothing else is done. But they never survive the winter.
