I love these bushes, also known as butterfly bushes for obvious reasons. If you want butterflies in the garden, then plant a few of these and you will be sure of your butterflies. Since I have had my own garden, almost 20 years, I have had them in the garden in all colours. Now I only have two, a blue one in the back yard and a pink delight in the front yard, but there are always butterflies.

This is my pink delight buddleia in the garden. I chose this one because it remains quite bushy and always has a wonderful show of flowers. I once read an article about buddleia and it seems all the various plants have their own specialities according to the colours. This one makes a wonderful show every year and of course attracts many butterflies.

This must be one of the last, if not the last, buddleia that is flowering this year in my garden. Today the sun was shining and I took a few last photos in the garden of the flowers that remain. It has been a nice long summer flowering season this year.

There are still a few  flowers on the bush, but no longer as many as there were. Mostly the dried heads of the flowers which might bear a few seeds. Now and again a new bush begins to grow in the garden. The butterflies are now very scarce, but sometimes a cabbage white might arrive for the last meal of the season.
