Buddleia Globosa

That is unusual Anchorman.....like the fact that it's scented for us humans too.

It is unusual for a buddleia Janey but there are plenty about if you look for them

Lovely shot sir!

Thanks Meanie

Thinking of Buddleia has anyone ever seen buddleia alternifolia?

I don't think I've ever seen one

Just checked it out and I cant say that I have!
To enter into the spirit of "have you ever seen", how about Buddleja Madagascariensis?

THat's a beauty. Shame it's tender. The globosa is tough as old boots

This is an interesting cross between b. globosa and b. davidii

Story of my life Anchorman - I'm drawn to the tender specimens! It's quite a whiffy one too, and not in a particularly pleasant way either!

I like that !

so do i......

Hi Anchorman,
I have a buddleia globosa which I planted as a potted cutting about 7 years ago. I prune it well after flowering is finished and always get a healthy crop the following summer, which bees and butterflies love.

This year, I've noticed that some of the globe florets are lilac, and I can't find any similar images anywhere online. I can provide some photos if you're interested. Just by the way, I live on the east coast of England, a stone's throw from the coast of the North Sea.

I'd love to see the lilac globe florets. I wonder if they're some kind of genetic mutation . If so you could propagate from them and if they're interesting or different enough from other things available you could name them and make a fortune!

Roughly where on the east coast are you Galaxy?. I'm just south of sutton Bridge at the southern end of The wash
