Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Butterfly Bush

Butterfly Bush
September 16, 2010

We stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast a few days ago.  They had a lot of these gorgeous bushes bordering the parking lot.  As we enjoyed our breakfast I watched a large number of butterflies frequenting the bushes.  I aptly named them butterfly bushes but that likely is not their name.  What I found very interesting is the range of colours in the blooms.  Aren't they just gorgeous?  No wonder the butterflies enjoy them!

Happy Gardening!

    Very pretty indeed!
    I've seen the flowers before, but I'm not sure what they are, either.

    Hope you have a great week!
