RE: purple butterfly bush

And you definitely are not talking about Black Knight -- very dark black purple?

Subject: purple butterfly bush


Hi everyone,
I have been enjoying the discussion on hot colors - I 
love nasturtiums and bright colors generally, including 
orange & purple together.  A garden all in pink & blue 
sounds wimpy to me!  But I do love blue and white in the 
summer, makes it look cooler.

My question is, when I was exploring the Olympic 
peninsula this summer, I suddenly came around a corner 
(in the car) and there in front of me was the most 
gorgeous butterfly bush I've ever seen - it looked like 
an explosion of bottlebrushes in fluorescent/neon deep 
purple.  Now I have seen lots of purple butterfly 
bushes, but none of them looked like that.  Do you think 
the intense color was due to the cool humidity, or is 
this something I could order from somewhere?
