Re: Buddleja

**G* R* <g*@tiscali.co.uk>**

The USDA map has records from more states
http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/map/buda1.htm

But remember... just because the state is coloured in on the map it 
doesn't mean that every appropriate habitat is engulfed. It can 
easily mean that one person reported the plant as invasive at one 
site - once.

My objection to the attitude of the National Zoo was the implication 
that no one anywhere in the country should ever plant buddleja. Which 
is clearly ridiculous. And Proven Winners, with four buddeljas in 
their program, certainly wouldn't agree.
