Saying this it has a lot more blooms on it. x<br /><br />PS. As for my butterfly photos. Most of them will not sit still for a second.

A few years back I helped with the Butterfly Conservation Society to put a Buddleia garden together.<br /><br />Did you know that the national collection is held on the estate owned by Waitrose/John Lewis: <br /><br />http://www.longstocknursery.co.uk/buddleja-c31.html<br /><br />I never know which way to spell it Buddleia or Buddleja!?!Happy Homebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654877639689743011noreply@blogger.com
