In Max’s garden. I took some cuttings yesterday, apparently they are tricky to root but I will do my best. 🙂

Beautiful, and the garden bench in the background enhances the effect.

Well spotted, yes I liked that too! Total fluke of course. 🙂

As one who has been contracted on several occasions to remove “infestations”, I am not dismissive of buddleia (or buddleja for that matter). They have been generous, albeit indirect, contributors to my exchequer. All they need is the right place and management. Otherwise, I’m available ……..

Yes I have tied the black ribbon around quite a few misplaced buddleja. Still there are plenty of good ones out there. I thought once about a book of photos of buddleja in all their self seeded places. Still might do it. Probably not.
