As a Lantana lover, I've gone through the same, 'cept my husband-ways mower-chopped ours down. My Lantana this year will be second to none, growing off the old, not-mowed over-other stems. Ours here are yellow/pink.

As lovely as a poem can be for a plant.
Many years ago I planted the same blue purple Lantana in beds around my house. The beds fell into neglect after I could no longer maintain them. The yard men with their weed eaters hacked away at them and winter frost killed back their leaves. Finally, kindly yard man pulled them out by the roots in some sort of cleansing to leave me with bare dirt that was much easier for them to beat up with their weed eaters. Finally, weeds conquered all.
This year we had a drought. By August, even the weeds and the beds were suffering. Beh had them dug up, and bought discount Lantana, yellow orange to plant in the place of the ones she remembered long ago. We are getting rain, finally, and, if it does not freeze, my flowerbeds around the house should be alive with yellow and orange this spring.
Now you can see why I love her so much.

| Can you say, "Green Thumb?" Well, I don't have one and it would appear that yours is fading too. Still, this well written poem makes it sound like even I might be able to grow Lantana. Thanks, Dick. |

Lovely Lantana in lavender. A plant I love in a hanging
basket on my deck. Light and airy touch in a graceful poem
of rich blossoms. Lady Mary Ann |

If only we humans were as faithful as many plants and animals. And now you've made me yearn for spring, and getting back to my garden.
PS: Butterflies like Lantana, too. |

"Lantana"? Sounds rather as a lovely weed. Sure, what we want we can't grow and what we want to get rid of, we can't get rid of.
Great poem, though, ol' pal.
