Recently, I mentioned that I had become interested in the Lantana plant and that I had planted some along my driveway that has never had any plantings in the past . Well , here you see a few Red Dallas' Lantana, a shrub type cultivar that flowers with a Dark Orange color that fades to a Brilliant Red that grows to about four feet .
These lovelies were ordered July 15 (not even a month ago) through the Internet from https://www.almostedenplants.com/shopping in Louisiana . I ordered six 3-1/2 inch pots at $7.99 each . They arrived healthy and wrapped exceptionally well . Little plants with no flowers . And, Look At Them Now !!! I think the most important thing about mail order plants is to plant them promptly after receiving them .
My hard work maintaining the house and taking care of myself continues on a regular basis that is dependent on my physical ability . It is really hard but I am seeing progress . I think most everything has been done in preparation for the house painter to get started . I did quite a lot of pruning of garden shrubs that would interfere with expeditious completion of the job . I am getting a lot done and having a lot of pain , as well . Even though my work in the garden is sometimes challenging , the garden gives me a place to spiritually revitalize my soul . Life is Good .
Hoping the coming week brings you Comfort and Joy .

Your lantana are beautiful. I also love lantana and have several planted on the shallow bank between my house and the north side neighbor. I don't remember the name of the particular lantana, but it has the classic yellow/red/orange flowers and bright green leaves. I also love the smell, but I hear some people find the aroma offensive. I am also envious of those nasturtiums I see in the photo. I cannot grow nasturtiums to save my life!
