Arlene, this lantana is called "L. camara"... http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week067.shtml

i can provide seeds or cutting for postage in the near future. right now, am at a crisis stage, am not able to do anything. if u check the Parking lot forum, under the thread name "Meiyu" u will understand why. so sorry u caught me at a bad time.
