It is indeed. Does this attract many butterflies? it looks like a butterfly flower!

Some people see it as a weed around here because it grows in the hedgerows so freely but I love it and so do the butterflies and bees. It has flowered non stop since early May so nothing to not like :-))

Thanks, but no Ann. I really don't have room for any more herbaceous stuff.
