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

Well then-- thinking I need to go have a talk with my plants :)

Actually it was 70 on Sunday-- now back to the 30's. The lake effects my
weather pattern... so get a longer fall but takes forever for spring to
arrive! They will probably be blooming tommorrow or the next day if
stays above freezing tonight. I am just glad the snow they were
predicting didn't happen last night.
