Done. Though I really couldn't tell what parts were most succulent, so
leaves, stems and blooms were used. Juice sure was green. The seedlings
all of a sudden have the nicest, healthiest color imaginable. Better color
for them than polk berries, I think. 'Course if I go out in the a.m. and
find that they've all withered away, I'm going to regret this. Plus the
kitchen now has the odor of lantana permeating every corner. Not bad, but
distinctively lantana. I think the modern variety I'm growing doesn't quite
smell as pungent as the old two toned ones. It was awfully messy making it.
