scarletbean, the lost lantana is found. Three plants have emerged that I missed so I will let them grow in place. Also. it has reseeded each year so new plants should be popping up soon. I don't know the species / cultivar but it is the one pictured and butterfles love it. I would like to provide you a start of this plant so DG mail where to send it.
I started the butterfly / hummingbird venture last summer so my plantings are limited but I do have several in bloom currently that are attracting butterfles and hummers. A patch of wild verbena is an absolute magnet for butterflies early in the season and a basket of mixed Calibrachoa works for both.
