Ugly Duckling?

 

Esperanza is Spanish for Hope. It is also the name of a hardy shrub, native to Central Texas, that has beautiful trumpet shaped yellow flowers all summer. A few weeks ago we planted a dozen Esperanza plants along the back fence - at least, we thought we did.  

It turns out that one of the plants, number eight in the row, was mislabeled.  Somehow we got one Lantana bush.

I don't particularly care for Lantana, and Honey hates them, so it would seem the thing to do would be to pull out out and throw it away.  The problem with that is that, until we get a replacement, it would leave a gap like a missing front tooth.
