Red and orange lantana is quite common here, but this pink one is not common at all. It looked very delicate and dainty - unlike the red one which looks gawdy and brash. But both are beautiful, I think. Small picture of red lantana in my archive, 24th July 2008.
In some countries Lantana is classified as a noxious weed, in others you can also be fined for even having it on your property. In others it is a cultivated flower. It is poisonous to cattle, I don't know about sheep or goats. But there is so much lantana here, and so many goats, that I guess it is OK for them, or else the goats are clever enough to know that they can't eat it.
I have young grandsons (and their parents) staying for a while. Forgive me if my replies to your comments, and my comments on your blogs are intermittent. I will try to catch up when they have gone.
