Just a wallflower
The perennial wallflower is a big hit with the butterflies.
This one is a frequent visitor, our pet tortoiseshell which can't get enough of Bowles Mauve!
I demanded Roo plant a butterfly bush when we moved in last year. She planted Buddleja davidii 'Black knight' and so far they are stridently ignoring it, lovely as it looks.
Apparently, Buddleja is a bad plant! An invasive non-native that crowds out other host plants which butterflies and birds depend on for food throughout the year!!
My Bad!!!
I won't dig it up, I will just not plant anymore and make it my avowed intent to plant and nurture other food plants.
OK?
