Except Temptation

I can resist everything
except temptation.

I think this color of Lantana is so pretty. I would love to put some in our backyard but unfortunately it is poisonous to cats and dogs.

This was taken in our neighbor's front yard garden.
This is soooo pretty…sweet colours

Hmmm…. Didn’t realize it was poisonous to animals… Sugar dug ours up at the end of the season. It was in our large rectangular raised flower bed… next thing I noticed… the plants were all gone and Sugar was having a great time playing in the dirt in the planter.

Lantana blooms are very pretty. It’s always a conflict for me too but not due to the animals. It’s a noxious weed here and thousands are spent trying to eradicate it from national parks and bush land. Lovely shot though 😁

@kartia I did come across a quote in my search that said “the beautiful invader that’s silently choking our farmland and threatening our ecosystems…lantana camara.” I had not heard that before. I guess it matters where you live.

@gardenfolk yes it’s such a shame because it’s such a pretty flower. I love the colours.
