Lantana ‘Samantha’ photographed from California
very common in road side and occassional home boundry in west bengal towns and cities i forgot to say the yellow lantanas we had may not be this particular cultivar. and yours is a variegated leaf one
nice.
not seen here in india and there has been a rash of roadside thievery for usual yellow and purely pink lantanas in Kolkata
even from a road divider on a bridge how did they pull that off I dont know they were large when you catch plant thief they say chhord do babu/didi garib admi hain thoda chhori kiya aapse I guess they learn from the newspaper news about big lady’s going home etc and expect us to pardon them just like the big judges do they even stole my very old very expensive (Read: large twisted interesting caudex) adeniums and bonsais one summer … this is corruption of the soul and spirit deep into our psyche, when will we get over it I wonder anyway I was talking of Lantanas in one section of dhakuria lakes it has grown out of control crowding out native species, but then so does the Ruella. and ficus pumila. There used to be some dioscorea there and some Ber small ones..and malabar spinach which some bengalis eat… gone
