Lantanas are popular.bedding plants, and are useful houseplants, too. They are distinctive for the numerous heads of small flowers, which often appear in three colors-yellow, orange, red-in a single cluster. Leaves are generally oval, with rounded teeth, and quite hairy on the under surface.
In the South, lantanas become very ornamental shrubs, but as a houseplant they are best treated as annuals, and discarded after flowering. Slips may be taken before the plant is thrown away, and any desired number of new plants started. The cuttings take root easily.
Grow in a cool room, with plenty of sun and moisture.
Thank you to walked through my garden by visiting my images:)
A painted Lady butterfly sitting in a violet flower field. Amazing - such a complicated and colourful texture on the wings, but nevertheless I just saw it when it moved.

An amazing sight, even with the hordes of people (many of whom were woefully underprepared for both the hike and hot weather conditions).
Really bad quality, but I was just so happy to see any kind of fungus during our trip to Trinidad & Tobago in March 2017. These small, white ones looked so delicate. They were photographed at the Asa Wright Nature Centre on the island of Trinidad, on 19 March 2017. They were growing at the edge of the trail that leads to the Dunston Oilbird Cave.
This adventure was only the second holiday of any kind, anywhere, that I have had in something like 30 or 35 years! The other holiday was a wonderful, one-week trip with my dear friends from England, Linda and Tony, when we went down south to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons in September 2012. I have had maybe half a dozen weekends away, including to Waterton National Park, which have helped keep me going.
Six birding/photographer friends and I decided that we would take this exciting trip together (from 12-21 March 2017), spending the first two or three days on the island of Tobago and then the rest of the time at the Asa Wright Nature Centre on the nearby, much larger island of Trinidad. We decided to take a complete package, so everything was included - accommodation at both places, all our food, and the various walks and day trips that we could choose from. Two of my friends, Anne B. and Brenda, saw to all the planning of flights and accommodations, which was so very much appreciated by the rest of us. I could never have done all this myself! We were so lucky with our flights, as we were just in time to get Black Friday prices, which were 50% off!
What a time we had, seeing so many beautiful and interesting things - and, of course, everything was a lifer for me. Some of these friends had visited Costa Rica before, so were familiar with some of the birds. There was a lot more to see on Trinidad, so we were glad that we chose Tobago to visit first and then spend a longer time at Asa Wright. It was wonderful to be right by the sea, though, at the Blue Waters Inn on the island of Tobago. Just gorgeous.
The Asa Wright Nature Centre, on Trinidad, is such an amazing place! We stayed in cabins up or down hill from the main building. Really, one doesn't need to travel away from the Centre for birding, as so many different species visit the Hummingbird feeders that are right by the huge, open veranda, and the trees of the rain forest high up the mountainous road. The drive up and down this narrow, twisting, pot-holed road was an adventure in itself! Never would I ever do this drive myself - we had a guide who drove us everywhere in a minibus. I had read many accounts of this road, lol! There was enough room for two vehicles to pass each other, and the honking of horns was almost continuous - either to warn any vehicle that might be coming fast around the next bend or as a sign that drivers knew each other. The drive along this road, from the coast to Asa Wright, took just over an hour each way.
I still miss the great food that was provided every single day at Asa Wright and even the Rum Punch that appeared each evening. I never drink at all, so I wasn't sure if I would even try the Punch - glad I did, though, as it was delicious and refreshing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all served buffet-style, with a great variety of dishes from which to choose. To me, pure luxury. So very, very grateful to have been invited to be part of this amazing adventure.
This is a video that I came across on YouTube, taken by Rigdon Currie and Trish Johnson, at many of the same places we visited on Trinidad and Tobago. Not my video, but it made me feel like I was right there still. Posting the link here again, so that I won't lose it.
I also came across the following 27-minute YouTube video of the flora and fauna of Trinidad, filmed by John Patrick Smith in February 2015.

I have taken photos of this beautiful animal before, but I find it an irresistable subject because of the gorgeous, unique mane. This particular shot has (to me) a delicate sensitivity, a look into the character of the animal. Yet another example here of the shockingly good bokeh of this small aperture zoom lens.

happy women's day to all the girls on flicker.have a great day and year ahead.
You are far ahead of the other 'gender' intellectually. Cheers!!
These roses were so pretty and delicate my aim was to create a final image that would illustrate how I percieved them. I've wanted to use the Orton Effect for some time and this is my first attempt. I kept the Orton Effect to a minimum though because I did not want to lose too much detail.

These orchids look so graceful at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012
While at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, we hiked to Delicate Arch. The views were amazing overlooking the landscape. Afterwards we drove to the lookout on the other side of Delicate Arch and hiked to the upper viewpoint. Wow! Amazing how far down over the edge!

"We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
So why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why'd you sing aleluya
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?
We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate
So why'd you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
And why'd you sing aleluya
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?
And why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
Why'd you sing Hallelujah
Never means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?"
(Damien Rice "Delicate")
