Verbena bonariensis

love these...so elegant

Great pic

Good close up.....ours out too.....

Seen many butterflies yet? I've only spotted a few so far.

That reminds me - I've got half-a-dozen to plant out. My first batch fell fowl to a slug - but, the slug fell fowl to me. I don't kill them - I just toss them into the middle of the lawn and let the sun or the birds to the rest. Nothing survives the middle of our lawn in the heat - not even the lawn!

Fantastic close-up!

They are one of my favourites, I do have a few doing well but not as advanced as yours yet!

Do yours seed themselves in strange places? I even had to pull some out of the middle of the path. :-((

Its their first year so I will have to wait and see;0)

They should seed themselves...but NOT where you want them to! LOL.

Lovely shot of this B!

Thanks, Karen. :-) It's a butterfly's view!

indeed it is! They seem to like this as much as Buddleia. I've planted a few of the latter this year so as to make up for the lack of this tender beauty!

Mine didnt come back this year...but i found 3 little seedlings.....

That'll do, Motinot - they shoot up!
