Butterflies & Buddleia

[Pete]

Round the side of where I'm working today is a buddleia bush - covered in peacock butterflies - this is just one. Lovely!

Buddleia's are known as 'The Butterfly Bush'
I used to have one at the top of the garden

Only seen cabbage whites on our buddleia up to yet this year

Actually got the plant from the wasteland at the  botton of Clayton St.
I was parked there whilst Our_Lass was having a wedding dress fitting up town.
4 years ago. Wow, where does the time go

We have one, its was covered in butterflys at the weekend.  Cabbage Whites, Peacock and Red Admirals.  Some of the Peacocks are huge.

Parked up in Crystal Peaks next to some lavender bushes - there were thousands of bees round them! Although has anyone else noticed how many dopy/dead ones there are lying around?

@ Alsatian - I put a thread out last week on dead bees as we are seeing a lot here
