Beautiful Flowers 5

Lantana

It is a fragile flower and grows in a bunch, looking like a bouquet with orange, red and yellow flowers. With their yellow and pink petals they easily attract butterflies and other insects seeking nectar. The shrub can grow quite large and the color of the petals changes as the plant ages.

That were some beautiful flowers, but the list does not end here. Others in the list include Bleeding Heart, Blue Bells, Lily of the Valley, Black Eyed Susan and Oriental poppy.
