My poor buddleia, lost all the leaves and flowers, but it will return some time next year, as it has throughout the years I have had it.

This skeleton is the remains of my buddlieia. No longer does it have its lovely pink flowers, being regularly visited by the butterflies, the leaves have gone and the deal flowers. My gardener did the necessary and now it is waiting until next year when it will sprout again with its green leaves and buds. At least the remains of the Caucasus forget-me-nots.

This one has been hanging on for a month and is refusing to give up. It will be the last flower for this year.

Everthing in the garden is packing its buds away and the flowers are preparing to leave until next year. I had cut away the first dead flowers of the buddlia and here are the second flowers, now also ready to say goodbye.

My buddliea bush is now full in flower.

Not the wonderful flowers you find in midsummer, but the remainder left in Winter. If you are lucky that might stay green as this year. Plenty of rain and warmer temperatures makes a difference.

Not the usual buddleia we know, but the buddleia globosa. It stands on one of our town squares every Summer for many years in its pot and disappears during the colder months.

Someone is hiding in the butterfly bush.
