Lantana Flowers are Beautiful and Come in Many Colors

Lantana Flowers are Beautiful and Come in Many Colors features a particularly brightly colored type of lantana flowers that the author/artist found growing out in the country. It discusses the pros and cons of this plant in central Florida.

Resplendent Lantana (Lantana camara) flowers tend to be a favorite amongst gardeners due to their variety of colors and their hardiness. Some people also know these beauties as common lantana, red sage, Spanish flag, or West Indian lantana. It comes in quite a few serovars that have different color combinations and varying levels of color intensity. I’m not sure which type this one is, but in my…

this picture was so suspenseful. i knew whatever was hiding under that leaf was something i definitely haven't seen before, and probably something really rare and special. i approached it carefully but unfortunately i did flush it. i saw it better when it flew away and then i knew exactly what it was and was devastated i couldnt get a better picture. but then it landed on a lantana a few feet away!

look at that beautiful moth. faithful beauty, Composia fidelissima. what a delightful find

Bakarwal blankets: this pastoralist community makes them using wool from their animals. It has become almost impossible to continue with this beautiful and essential craft. Ritayan Mukherjee reports:

The woollen blankets are made by members of Scheduled Tribe communities – Megh and Mihngh, known for their wool craftsmanship. Once the blankets are made, they are washed and dried by the Bakarwal men. The thread and yarn for the blankets are usually made by Bakarwal women, and the yarn is dyed at home by Bakarwal families.

Mohammed Kalu has come from Khanna Chargal, a small settlement in a riverbed upstream from Pargalta. Pointing towards an old woollen blanket on which his little son is asleep he says, “[The blanket] lives as long as a human being or longer. But the market-bought acrylic wool blankets hardly last a few years.

He adds that blankets made of pachim (the local word for acrylic wool) take days to dry if they get wet, unlike pure woollen blankets. “Our feet burn and body aches after using the acrylic blankets in winter”.

“I can look at a quilt and tell you which family it comes from,” says Zareena Begum who lives in the same settlement as Talab Hussain.

“It is difficult to get people who still have mills,” says Maaz Khan. In his sixties, Khan is from a family that still processes wool. Many in the community say that the charkha (spinning wheel) is dead and have given up spinning.

As a result, pastoralists are also finding it difficult to sell wool. “We used to get at least 120-220 [rupees] for a kilogram but now we get nothing. A decade or so ago even the goat hair had a price in the market; now even sheep wool has no buyers,” says Mohammad Talib, a Bakarwal from tehsil Basohli, in Kathua district. The unused wool lies in their storerooms or is discarded at the shearing spot. The number of artisans working with wool has also reduced.

Maintaining a herd of animals for their wool is no longer easy as grazing grounds are scarce in and around Jammu. They also have to pay people whose land their animals graze on.

Recently a lot of areas around the villages in Samba district were taken over by invasive species, Lantana camara. “We can’t graze here. There are weeds everywhere,” says Munabbar Ali, resident of a small village in Basohli tehsil .

Many of the old breeds of animals have been replaced by the state and Bakarwal’s say that the current cross-bred sheep cannot stand the heat of the plains for too long, and neither can they navigate mountain paths, “When we migrate to Kashmir, they stop in their tracks if there is a small ledge as it is difficult for them to jump. The old breed would walk well,” Tahir Raza a shepherd told us.

These Lantana plants at the ornamental gardens are quite popular with Monarchs. A giant swallowtail even made an appearance! I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but what I got isn't terrible. It was a beautiful day yesterday.
