| Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share what I planted today in my garden. This is mainly for my best friend Nikki (I think you all know the story). Take a look :) . This is one of my favorite flowers. Before
After (there are other flowers in with it; clarkia, balloon flowers, black eyed susans, just to name a few. All except the butterfly bush were winter sown.)
Enjoy! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Thanks Kelly and GG! Kelly, what color is your butterfly bush? lol I'm running out of space for outside plants too. GG, thanks! Nikki loved butterflies and butterfly bushes. I haven't seen any on it yet but I keep looking! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Brad, Mine is the bluish/purple. Have several - one which I never cut back and it's probably close to 20 feet tall. The others I cut back to about a foot high in April and they're now a good 7 or 8 feet tall! |

| Thanks Kelly! Sounds pretty! I know they can grow quite a bit in one season! Did you ever take cuttings from it or your sweet autumn clematis? My sweet autumn clematis died unfortunately. I know butterfly bushes can be started from seeds too. I remember somebody planted some when they winter sowed. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
