I had a large white Butterfly Bush, when I put in my Holly hedge I was expecting to have to cut it down. In prep of trying to move it I cut it way back and then realized that at a smaller size it could stay there at least until the Hollies get bigger. I never really wanted a White BB, I wanted a purple one. I thought I would get one so that when I finally do have to move/destroy the white one I'd have another. Ric went out and bought one of those 3 in 1 grafted ones, which wasn't at all what I wanted. Turned out that it wasn't what he thought he was getting and it's white, too. I did order a yellow one a couple of years ago, that one died. Last year I was looking at a multi-colored one but didn't get it. Looks like the only BB around here are going to be white for a while at least. Oh well the Butterflies don't seem to care. LOL
Ric's still recuperating. After his nap he had a light snack and is now taking a second nap on the couch. Wanta bet he wakes up in a couple of hours and is up most of the night. He can still hang with the young guys but it takes a toll. LOL
