Hmmm...now that IS mighty "purty." I was poking around in my garden this early am...and found my native Woolly Butterfly Bush, which of course looks nothing like your variety. Odd looking plant tho, with small orange flowers on a ball shape bloom. The flys seem to love it...lol. Was going to the nursery this morning...but after mowing and edging the front yard...I've decided its just too hot. *sigh* Sunday is always my "nursery day." I know Rainbow Gardens has a few varieties of your butterfly bushes. I'm definitely going to pick one up...maaaybeee today...if I can find a big enough hat and a 150 SPF suntan lotion....lol :D
