Blooming buddleia,
At the height of summer;
No butterflies!

As a recorder of butterflies in our little garden I am happy to see that my wonderful buddleia* is enjoying some afternoon sunshine.  Unfortunately, I have not recorded any butterflies in the garden since late May.  I am advised by the County Recorder that the lack of butterflies may be due to the mild and wet winter, followed by a dull, mild and wet spring!  The weather!!!  The climate???

 My geraniums are still flowering but here are some daisies** that have burst into flower over the last few days.

*The buddleia, Buzz Velvet Red, has shot up this year.  It was supposed to be a dwarf variety.  All buddleia usually known as ‘butterfly bush’.

**The daisies are actually Leucanthemum superbum white.  We also have them in yellow but they are just not as far forward.
