Hi Pixie. Yes, that's a Lantana plant. He has two kinds growing in that area where I took these photos. My brother has Lantana growing in two other places also in his back yard but most of it isn't blooming yet. When it comes into bloom, I expect a lot more butterflies to visit. Joe
I love the flowers he's on too.. Lantana?
