I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Looks like Bulija Globosa, I may be wrong of course? it is really close, work can be hectic sweetie, we idle people have too many hours in a day to play with photographs and go off on interesting shoots LOL...Oh well I suppose it has it's plus side eh?...Great and beautiful shot sis, love the colours.

Yes, lantana (which I have trouble differentiating from verbena!), it's used for public plantings in many places because it grows so well with no care...a gorgeous capture of these multicolored lovelies!
MrsLubner
I have this and 2 other types of lantana in my yard and I love them. Many people say they have a bad odor but I have never noticed that with mine. Maybe the cultivated are different from the wild ones but they look identical. You did a stellar job with this capture and I like how you got the little one not opened yet.

Lantana, Lantana, Lantana!!! What beauties! Intriguing variety of colors and textures within those tiny blooms. This hardy plant is highly prolific in my neck of the woods and are planted next to a lot of business buildings. And if you want to take the time to check my gallery, I also posted photos of it a while back.

Oh no, it's the evil Lantana. It's a noxious weed in Australia slowly burying many of our rainforests. But sure is pretty looked at this way

WOW WHat a beautiful flower. I read it is Lantana, but it looks a little like in the family with Hydrangea, doesnt it? :)
