The lantana plant (Lantana camara) forms large, bushy mounds with showy heads of small bright flowers that bloom continuously during the summer and autumn in and around Gavalochori, but they may produce some blooms all year round. The blossoms may be solid colors or multicolored in shades of orange and yellow or pink and yellow. Native to Central and South America, most lantana grow to be about 1 meter (3 feet) high, but some can grow to be 1½ to 2 meters (5 to 6 feet) tall. The leaves are poisonous or toxic to most animals, including cattle, sheep, horses, goats, and dogs, but the berries are a delicacy for many birds. You can see yellow lantana in the planter boxes in the main square in Gavalochori.
