The Many Different Colors Of Bandana Lantana

I had have a collection of bandana lantana in my folder for a long time, but I didn't know the name of these colorful flowers. Ive seen these flowers on Pacey's and Rainfield's blogs, and it was lovingly preferred as "ham 'n egg."

Recently, I saw these flowers again at a nursery, and I asked the gardener for the name. She said they are bandana lantana. As quickly as I can, I jogged down the name in my notebook, and thought the name was very interesting.

Yellow Lantana


When the nursery puts all the flower pots into one area, these flowers are so bright, colorful, and very beautiful. Their colors are calling out for people to come and admire them. I couldn't resist a visit and taking snap shots!

Yellow and White


I typed in bandana lantana on Google, and saw so many different colors of these flowers! They are gorgeous! I am so impressed with the varieties of colors that these flowers produced! The above flowers have some pink in the middle as they grow!

Yellow and Orange


These yellow bandana lantana flowers have some orange, almost red mixing in. I love the colors on the buds and looking at colorful flowers makes me happy.

Yellow and Red


These flowers are just remarkable! You can see a mixed of yellow, orange, red, and pink on them. They are so cheerful and simply beautiful for being such a tiny flower.

Yellow and Pink


How can I resist taking pictures of these beauties? The pink and yellow are just stunning! When I was a child, I used to pick one tiny flower at a time, and sucked on their honey. They had a very sweet taste at the end of their funnel. Has anyone else done this, or was I the only weird one?

Visit Pacey's and Rainfield's blogs if you want to see more of these flowers and their different colors. It is also interesting to know that these flowers are growing all over the world.

  3. I have many various colours in my garden, here in Cyprus. When the berries form they are poisoness, so be careful.

  5. I love Lantana, they are such beautiful little plants. I have the pink and yellow and will probably add more next year. I had not heard the "bandana" part of the name before, the tags and my book just used Lantana. Guess they wanted to keep it short. I like bandana lantana better.

    Beautiful photos.

  8. I also have the yellow and pink, they are so cute and very beautiful indeed. Yeah, they're also called lantanas Icy. Some layman call it ham and eggs, maybe of the yellow and pink variation match well with the name.
