I love Buddleia Neena - Have got several in the garden all different. My favourite is Black Knight a deep dark purple with an orange eye. I love the perfume too - it reminds me of hops/beer! Sadly mine are all over now, but I like to leave the seed heads on for the birds. Glad to see that yours are looking so good and attracting so many Butterflies!

Thank you Tracey, there have been so many butterflies in the garden it is a delight to see, they must be pleased to see the sunshine like all of us! I have got quite a few Buddleia too in various shades, I know what you mean about the perfume, (I used to live in Kent so love the smell of hops) some of mine are over too but the ones at the bottom of the garden are still lovely.

Thank you for liking Bloomer and Suey :o)

There were so many TT :o) I have quite a few Buddliea bushes and every one had butterflies fluttering about!
alas today is wet and windy and after all the rain most of the blooms are now brown anyway :o(
