Do Butterflies like Lantana?
Yes butterflies, bees and hummingbirds all like the sweet nectar of Lantanas. Lantanas are a species of the Verbena family and are native to tropical regions where they thrive in hot, humid and sunny locations.

Interesting Facts:
Black Throated and Streak Weaverbirds use the flowers for decorating their nests.
Butterflies that are drawn to Lantana flowers are particularly noteworthy -
Swallowtail and Bird-wing butterflies. Skippers and certain Brush-footed butterflies as well as some Pieridae also like to visit the plants’ flowers which make Lantana a perfect plant for a Butterfly garden.
Also the nectar, whichh is a sugary liquid, provides a vital food source for hummingbirds. Check out my blog site for more info on Lantanas. #lantana #hummingbirds #LadyBurdJohnsonWildflowerCenter #bandanalantana #swallowtailbutterflies #verbena #blackthroatedweaverbird #streakweaverbird

IS IT EASY TO GERMINATE ZINNIAS?
Yes! I think Zinnias are the easiest flowers I’ve ever started from seeds. Zinnias are also some of the most vibrant and colorful flowers blooming from spring to fall. They make a splashing entrance when their petals start to unfold.
Zinnias thrive in full hot sun so if you live in a hot climate this is one of the most heat tolerant flowers you can find.
I started out with one seed package many years ago which is all you need to have summer blossoms for years to come.
If you are a novice gardener or just a lazy gardener, Zinnias will impress with how easy they are to grow.
The blossoms attract a variety of pollinators – bees, butterflies and Humming birds.
ORIGIN
Native to Mexico, Central America and the Southwestern United States. The Aztecs called the flowers “plants that are hard on the eyes” because of their bright and brilliant colors. Zinnias come in all colors except blue. To find out more about zinnias check out the full article in my blog post.
