When I commented on my What's Blooming post and said "I did leave out my 7 butterfly bushes, but who hasn't seen one of those.", Fern Valley asked, What's a butterfly bush?
Well, here is one of the 7. I got the first one from my sister in NC. It must volunteer from seed because I would get them coming up in multiple flower beds. I transplanted several but now I either just pull them up or give them away.
Butterflies seen to be highly attracted to the blooms and it blooms from June until frost. I cut them back to the ground in very early spring otherwise they just get too big.
E got a very nice rainbow picture yesterday from the back porch.
The goats were headed out this morning. I liked the long line they were in.
Not to mention that they smell wonderful too! Pretty rainbow. The goat line almost looks like a fence!
