Update on the Butterfly Garden

Just when I've written off a plant, it goes and does something that redeems itself. I was ready to tear out all of the lantana this year, just because it was ready to take over things. But check out that pink! I don't remember planting lantana that pink. And its a color after my own heart. I took a bunch of cuttings today, so hopefully I'll have more shortly.Here's an update of the Butterfly Garden. It is still a bit messy looking and I'm not sure how to fix that.




But next week should be pretty - my stargazer lilies are all set to bloom.

Lantana was THE MVP of my garden last year! The poor thing would look like a dead twig, but with pruning, I soon had another big flush of leaves and flowers! I love it! Alas, mine wasn't that pink--such a great color!

Maybe I haven't prunned it enough. I'll be more motivated if they are pink!

Every butterfly garden I have seen looks kinda like yours. I guess it is the nature of the plants - they aren't usually the formal, symetrically hedged type of plants. I love your arbor bench inthe corner, very nice.
