It is really a nice feeling to have it so close. No chance with the adults who are always on the move. <br /><br />JC, the lantana I picture here is the most common and easy to grow. Some hybrids with yellow, orange or red flowers are more fussy and prone to diseases and pests attacks. I find that they do not like wet soil.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-20674566719294070742011-05-19T14:07:19.912+08:002011-05-19T14:07:19.912+08:00I love having Kesidang (I usually call them Bunga ...I love having Kesidang (I usually call them Bunga Kerak Nasi) in my garden. I just bought up and replanted it in the backyard. Hope it will produce many blooms and filled my garden with its fragrance.<br /><br />May I ask how do you get Lantana to grow well? I have one, after growing straggly, I gave it a thorough trimming, it looks very sickly now. I don't know how to improve its condition.<br /><br />For Ylang Ylang, I have seen a big tree in Sulawesi and Melaka with lotsa blooms. The fragrance is more pronounced than the dwarf Ylang Ylang. You will need more space to grow the tree but it is worthwhile.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-38687688512065058012011-05-18T15:22:37.650+08:002011-05-18T15:22:37.650+08:00Gorgeous photos.
