Does anyone know what this flower is? There is a beautiful bush growing along our fence with tons of these little blooms on it. I want to know what it is so I can plant some more! It makes me truly happy to look at it.

It's called lantana maybe not spelled correctly but, I agree it is beautiful and comes in a variety of colors. Very hearty and hard to kill!! Love your house!!
Thanks Aunt P!!
I too love this. Does anyone know if they are hardy enough to live in IL weather? Always looking for plants to put in around our house.
I just learned two things about lantana: 1: Lantana berries are edible when ripe, though like many fruit are mildly poisonous if eaten while still green. 2: Because of the pink and yellow shades, southerners refer to it as "Ham and Eggs." Awesome!
We enjoy lantana here in Arizona and it thrives in the heat! However, when we get frosts in the winter, it gets hit hard, then has to be trimmed back to the ground but then comes back really nice again. Comes in various colors here. Laura, yours is beautiful! Makes a great ground cover. Jill, I doubt if it would last a winter in Illinois.
Ours is prolific right now; the hotter the better!
