Buddleia alternifolia

I like it to ,are you back from your Hols now.

Yes Brian ,the garden looked looked like a Jungle ,the rain has made everything grow so much , we had strawberries ripening when we left something has been eating them , it might be the squirrels :o( some friends called round this morning and have offered to lend us a squirrel trap , it's going to be interesting ..

One of the nicest Budds!

I like it too, hope you had a nice holiday

Spectacular,Amy..nice to see you again,and I also hope you had a good holiday..we want to hear all about it please...and pics if possible? :o)

I do like Buddelas but havent any space for one at the momenty;0( will PM you later Amy!

Ooh, that's unusual! Haven't seen that one - on to the wish list, then.

Thanks everyone , we had a nice break but I'm afraid it wasn't the kind where you did your own thing and took photos , we went to visit a cousin near Scarborough who had lost her husband just before Christmas ,the funeral was on her birthday , she was obviously still very upset by it all , we did however manage to spend some time in York which would have been nice if it hadn't been pouring with rain .. :o(

Very nice Amy. Great pic.

Sorry to hear of your cousin's loss,Amy..I just assumed you had gone abroad in your caravan..and a shame our Yorkshire hospitality didn't include the weather ! it's been dire..and after three days sunshine,it's back to the same ! Grrr

Thanks Dawn / Sandra it was sad ,the doctors insisted my cousins husband had nothing to worry about and that it was only a Liver spot on his back this went on for ages it was eventually diagnosed as cancer which spread through him quickly ... :o(

I love the way this one grows...those little bands of flowers are really eye-catching. I hope it all went well Amy, and she took some comfort from your visit. We had 3 lovely sunny days, and then back to normal! The garden isn't looking too brill either, all the tall plants are now horizontal....:((

WOW!! ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL:-)))

Lovely pic of lovely plant, Amy, how old is it?

Pansy, there's a mini--Buddleia, Buzz, I got one in February, the blurb says it'll grow to about three feet high; I got it on eBay, would be glad to give you the seller's details if you're interested, but sure it'd be available in many colours from many sellers.

Thanks Janey , I'm glad you had some nice sunny days , you must tell me about it !
Thanks Junna .. I would say it's approx 15 years old Fran , it's scent is terrific ,you can smell it before you see it !

it's looking very good for its age!

OHs favourite, too rampant for here......great to see it growing as it should...
