I haven't had a lot of time for the garden (or blog) lately, I've been too busy socializing! Last night our book club held a book exchange along with a pot luck ~ great way to get new books & find homes for old ones. Next up is a Dove Chocolate Party (does a white chocolate mango mojito sound appealing to anyone??!!!) It sure does to me!
I did manage to squeeze in a greenhouse trip two days ago tho. There was a sale for pete's sake!! You have to know what came of that!!! Yessirree, another weak moment....
I don't think you'll blame me ~ it was over an orange butterfly bush!!!
I don't know about you but this color (in a Buddleia) is NEWS to me!
Shockingly vibrant.
I "had" to have it ~ afterall orange is the color of the year, right?!!!
The best reason, if any reason is needed, to buy a Buddleia (orange or not) is this one:
Photo taken the next day ~ that didn't take long!!
Mission accomplished ~ worth every single dollar & penny!
That orange butterfly bush is really unusual!! Almost looks like a lantana (since they are mostly orange) Love the silver-y foliage too. Good buy!!

Well how beautiful Kathleen. I have never saw an orange on before. Lucky you to have spotted one. Well we all must support those sales. LOL!
