One of the fascinating things about lantanas are the symmetry and patterns that they show in their flower clusters. Even the buds have such a beautiful pattern - almost looks mathematical! They are simple flowers, but this one that I saw on the wayside had a lovely mix of two shades and the design just blew my mind. I could stare at them for hours!

Lantanas are common here. We had them in our garden on our farm when I was small and always had to keep the pet lambs away from them as they are poisonous to stock.

Wow. Didn't realise that they were poisonous to animals. Are they safe fornhimans?

@pitstop No, I don't think so.

Many things in nature follow the Fibonacci series if their design is studied closely.

I remember learning the Fibonacci sequence in school. I've forgotten about it now.
