Belleza compacta
Esta foto es de la Lantana camara de la familia Verbenaceae. La variedad de flores en el género Lantana es increíble. Me asombran los detalles intrincados de estas flores tan chiquitinas. (Por si acaso que no se lo fijo, estos son las puntas de mis dedos al lado izquierdo de la foto.)
Se cultiva en muchas partes del mundo, aunque se cree que originalmente es nativa de la Valle Baja del Río Grande de Texas, EE.UU. Algunos nombres comunes son:camará, lantana, bandera española, confite, frutillo y cariaquito.

Compact Beauty
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.
Update: To see additional photos of this tiny bouquet of flowers, please read "Compact Beauty- additional angles".
