LANTANA
Lantana depressa
This is the species with yellow flowers. This semi-trailing plant is sometimes used in bonsai. It is a hardy plant that withstands any amount of pruning. The flowers as you can see are borne in attractive clusters - probably due to the shape of their leaves, they look like clusters of roses from afar.
I don't know the species name for this lantana. But of the 5 species of lantana in my garden, I love this best. It is truly intriguing - the colours & hues you see during the various stages of blooming.
