I looked these up and they're gorgeous!ALynnPowers wrote:I don't think I have ever seen a butterfly bush! But there is a bush here that has a great scent to it as well. Around this time of year (it's kind of finishing up now, though). I don't know the name of it in Japanese or in English, but I looked up the butterfly bush, and it's definitely not that!Graverobber wrote:I have two favorite flowers...
Tulips and the blooms on butterfly bushes.
They are both just beautiful and butterfly bush blooms have one of the sweetest smells.
I can't stand the thought of cutting flowers.
Anybody else like butterfly bushes?

They do. Very much. They have one of the sweetest scents I've ever found.
And they attract butterflies and hummingbirds. They come in so many colors!
And they come in a dwarf variety.

Well...unfortunately some places don't even allow it.
It's classified as a weed most places.
It's very easy to grow and the seeds are easily spread so it's now considered a harmful invasive species.
You can inhibit the spread by cutting the blooms off as they die.
Personally I love it...clipping a few (or not so few) blooms would be a minor price to pay to have it.
It's all about where it's legal or not.
It's originally from China and Japan.
Seriously though...you can hardly drive around some places and not see it growing anywhere and everywhere.
