The photo below is the Lantana camara, from the family Verbenaceae. There is an incredible variety in the Lantana genus. I am amazed at the intricate details of such tiny flowers. (And in case you didn't notice, those are the tips of my fingers on the left side of the photo.)
It is grown in many parts of the world, although it is believed to be indigenous to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States. Some common names are: Spanish Flag and West Indian Lantana. It is also known as the Red Sage, Yellow Sage or Wild Sage. However it is not even in the same family as the Sage or the Sagebrush.
