This is a tiny floret on one of the lantana plants in the backyard.  I planted these lantana about 3 years ago, and they have been bright yellow/orange.  I have to say that my favorites are the multicolored lantana.

This year, i’m happy to see there there seem to be a few multicolored blooms on this sprawling, hearty plant.  I’m wondering if this is from cross pollenation (?) as last year I planted a multi-color lantana in the neighboring bed.

Either way, they’re beautiful.  And they attract butterflies in droves.
