Re: RE: Buddleia davidii a noxious weed???

Hi Donna,

Have already cut a boquet of about 30 blooms (Daffodil) and delivered to a
shut-in elderly lady here in town, and bunches more are blooming, as well as
the hyacinths.  They sure smell good.  Of course the crocus are looking good
and the pansies are starting to bloom.  Rich in Z-5
