Count me in also!
An interesting thing about my butterfly bush - I had a Pink Delight for quite some years, but about three or four years ago we had a "killer" winter and it took my bush. I kept it in the ground hoping it would come back, but it didn't. Later that summer I found a seedling about 10 feet away and I was so thrilled! I potted it for awhile, then planted it on the opposite side of the house. It didn't flower last year, but did this year - and you'll never guess what - it's purple! I have no idea what happened - I never had a purple one!?! (See pic). Illoquin, I'll be asking for some yellow seeds on my list!

Caitlins - I haven't had any luck with Grandpa Otts yet. Other varieties come up, but my Otts have either not germinated or come up scrawny with only a few flowers.
