Varigated Buddleia

Part of our mixed planted shrub border, grown as a screen to give us privacy from what will be a new Bungalow behind......Second flowering season and the blooms are huge and the colour is just right...One of my favourite colours..
edit to say: I'm sure our Humming bird Moth will have a great time in each of these tiny flowers...

Hi there Crissue!
Yes its early here, but I've been up since 6am..cant seem to sleep late these days..the pigeons wake me up!
I'm still in my jammies too! lol I like this time of day..not many people up and about on Saturday mornings here, so I had my porridge sitting on the backdoor step watching the birds feeding and looking at the garden..so many weeds there jsut now but that will have to wait till tomorrow. I am off to my Dad's today, so I will be cleaning and cooking etc today, mgiht try and take him out in the car for a wee trip if he feels up to it. Maybe to a garden centre! Have a good day! :)

I love how the butterflies and insects home in on this bush, I have a white one and a newly planted really dark purple one. We once had a Humming Bird hawk moth, even managed to get a picture of it but the photos were on my old computer that gave up the ghost. Learned my lesson the hard way, put my pictures on an external hard drive now. Your garden is looking good Crissue.

Thanks everyone, I know what you mean Olive...we kept the old tower when ours went kaput...and we've just got the BIL to transfer everything on to a CDrom, problem is we can't get it to do anything except spin lol....

Just an update on that CD rom Barbara, OH took to the computer shop yesterday, and they had it up and running , don't know why we can't do it...so I think the PC and CD rom will have to to the shop next time....Did you by any chance keep your old Tower, because you can get you saved work taken off...
