On the cusp of 60! This one is a butterfly bush and is growing wild.
Have a great day!

It always amazes me when people know the flora and fauna — mine is limited to all fishes are fish, all plants are plant hahaha. I was awake during my biology class but somehow my brain thinks I do not need the info and discarded it to the trash bin hahaha
I understand, I seem to have a learning block when it comes to knowing all the flora. Trees, plants and fish? Forget about it. Fish are out. I can only ID the ones I have seen millions of times.
Oh God then thank you I am not alone hahaha
They are great…especially in bloom! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Yes they are, I am sure you have some growing here and there in your neck of the woods. I love all the colors, wow.
Don’t think it will be ready for a few months…but I think my grandmother has one in her yard somewhere. I’ll have to take a photograph when it blooms.
Oh great, I will look forward to it.
That’s awesome, thanks! 🙂
Its nickname is pretty sexy! A beautiful and interesting wandering according to its own rules!
They are awesome flowers, I would love to have a whole bunch of them.
Love to see the growing wild, that means food for the butterflies!
Me too, although the wild ones got hammered this summer with no rain. They will be back next spring though, in fact this one had new shoots everywhere.
Very interesting Kim. And I hear about this bush for the first time
It would grow there Elenka. It goes dormant in the winter.
Thanks for posting the butterfly bush. Where does it grow naturally? Is this in your yard?
It came from the Caribbean in the 1700’s, it grows all over the US, Asia and Africa, but this one was on a hiking trail in Oceanside California.
It’s an interesting bush, never even heard of it until now!
They are fabulous and come in all kinds of colors. They also grow tree sized.
