  1. So nice to get some new blooms to keep the garden going late in the season.

  2. I can not say enough nice things about my 'Orange Peel'. It began blooming in May and has not stopped yet. It even got pruned by a car, and you would not know it today.

  4. The blue chip buddleia is so pretty. I had that once. It didn't like it here for some reason.

  5. Very nice. Are you going to root any of them over the winter?

  7. Don't you just love the wide variety of critters attracted by your buddleia? Mine has become quite the attraction!
