Budlea

I ADORE these shrubs. They are complete magnets for butterflies, bees and other insects. Glorious colours, my own personal favourite is the black prince, a deep, rich, purple colour.

Buddleia! Love 'em--got two and am planning to buy at least 1 more this year.

This is the one I'm wanting:

Azaleas are pretty for about a day, then they scatter petals everywhere, messy things. Still, I've got five or six in the front bed that I wouldn't dream of uprooting.

Oooohhhhhh that one's gorgeous, even darker than the Black Prince. What's it called??

Took this pic a few of year's ago in the backgarden.

Venus fly trap

I prefer plants with a little utility. Besides, they look cool.

Most of the one's we've shown are simple, its just the growers that make them complicated. Grown in their own environment, they need little attention. Its the hybrids that need the work.

The ones I showed first, primroses, snowdrops are very simple basic flowers that grow quite happily in the wild, all over Britland. Wonderful to be walking a walk, or driving along a narrow windy country lane, and come across swathes of them on the banks for primroses, and under the trees for snowdrops. Beautiful. Mother nature is the best gardener of all.
