Madagascar winter plant

Madagascar winter plant Despite it being winter during our stay in Madagascar, temperatures are high enough for many colorful flowers to grow and bloom all year through. We found this pink and yellow flowering plant alongside the road. Geotagged,Lantana camara,Madagascar,Tana

    I would have loved the focus more on the flowers instead of the leaves, but the composition is nice. Good luck with the ID ;)

      I agree, the composition is poor. Did not have my macro lens within reach, so this is just a kit lens snap shot during a 2 minute break from driving.

      Yes, identifying madagascar flowers is challenging :)

        Flowers and leaf look like a Lantana.

          Not a Madagascar specie, rather it is introduced.
