A higher dimensional generalization of taut foliations
The result for any other point z and the radial segment joining it to the origin, or more generally a curve γ joining it to the origin, follows from the previous ideas applied to the hamiltonian of −Im(F ◦ h), where F : C → C is a diffeomorphism fixing the origin which sends γ to [0, r0 ], for some r0 > 0.

For z in a fixed line through the origin, the corresponding lagrangian spheres together with the origin are the union of the stable and unstable manifold for the hamiltonian of −Im(F ◦ h), where F is the rotation of angle θ.
