Butterfly Bush
While walking through the grounds of the Whistler House Museum of Art yesterday on our way to the “Bernie & Bill” exhibit, the person I was with exclaimed “what a beautiful butterfly bush!” I’d probably heard of such a shrub before but the name never made much of an impression until I took a closer look yesterday and spotted nearly a dozen butterflies flitting about the blooms on this bush.
Alternate name = budeleia I have the “Black Knight” , darker than the one shown . . Mine has been atrracting several types of butterflies since late June.
