i love that word and could just stop there:) but as some you know i have an ironic thing for flowers, ironic in that i dont have green thumb when it comes to frivolous plants/flowers, im ok in the garden:) and ironic in the fact that im not big on picking/purchasing flowers... but here is this plant i inherited and planted in my front flower bed, that is mostly bushes and sage varietals.... (im not into watering much either:() anyways this plant (lantana) struggles in the 100 degree heat of summer (my house faces west, which is great feng shui but terrible for a flower bed). so the leaves of the plant are wilted, bug eaten etc.. but its flower persists and fights thru the heat to bloom in such a beautiful way it over comes you...you cant loose your awareness or you'll miss it for it only lasts one day and its gone... such beauty, such determination to live, to see the sun and then to die. im sure for the plant it was well worth it and im honored.
