YELLOW & PINK LANTANA

Thanks Karan.

It has some obvious apparently beneficial qualities, like many invasive plants. Unfortunately, its appeal to pollinators and seed dispersers is one of the things that makes it so successful and increases its range. Everywhere it grows is somewhere a native Indian plant would have been, which will be pushed into ever smaller populations. The insects that would have depended on those plants aren't likely to fare too well either.

This is flowering across the year and evergreen shrub plant. Nice place to find butterflies and many insects. Birds..too.

No I haven't Ashish, I'll have a look. I'm very sorry to hear it's so widespread

Craig.. have you seen my Common Mormon spotting...? I find this shrub plants everywhere on those hills.

Was this in a garden Karan, or somewhere uncultivated? I know this plant has a tendency to become an invasive weed and I'm curious how far it has spread.

Nice spotting. These are great for attracting butterflies.
