I don't know what this black thing is on top of my lantana bud. Can anyone help me?
Lantana in Bastrop Texas
It isn't old at all. Just was there and noticed it when I was watering. I don't see any on my other lantana plants. I have six total. The planting of it is a good suggestion. I hadn't thought of that. Thank yall so much for responding to my sighting. I didn't know if it was an invading bug or what as I have a pretty good green thumb but hadn't seen this before. This IS the first for lantana because everyone has it here.
Plant that seed and you might get a new lantana plant. The seeds are very prolific and some varieties are considered weed-like because the lantana plants are prolific re-seeders.
whoops! should have read your comment. Could it be a fruit? Seems odd but I think the fruit does turn black. Is that a spent fower, or a new bud?
