Amid the heat and pandemic-pandemonium that has gripped every little city in the world, a lunch-time stroll can be the one thing between sanity and all the other options. I’ve been making sure to take a lunch break to reset and right myself when the workday threatens to engulf and overwhelm, and on one of my recent walks I was happy to see this container of lantana absolutely fanning the flames of floral fire.
I am enthralled by how each blossom cluster holds so many different colors. You don’t often see that in a plant – it almost looks like an accident, like some artist took too much liberty with the laws of nature and created some other-worldly creation – only this one is real and natural and simply splendid.
The color combination is stunning, and perhaps too bold for some people.
It is just right for me.
