ABC Wednesday: L is for Lantana

I looked through my summer shots for lantana since they don't bloom here until late June or July.

Lantana attracts lovers that let loose their wings and engage in a lovely dance. I have photographed butterflies climbing on each other but didn't look too hard for those shots as they as they make me seem like a little too much of a voyeur

  22. I took photos of my lantana, did a post quite a while back. Lantana doesn't have a good reputation in South East Asia, it has a bad name, came Chicken shit flower because of the smell.

  25. I love Lantana and the butterfly's it draws. I also used to live in a small town called Lantana, I liked the whole idea of it, and planted Lantana for the butterflies, then joked about my Lantana in Lantana!
