Re: Butterfly Bushes

That sounds fabulous, thanks for the encouragement...They were just so
beautiful I had to try.

While I was at the nursery three butterfly's landed on one and two on the
other as I was taking them to my car.  One is a light purple, and the other
a dark purple.   They were the one's attracting the most butterfly attention
in the lot of the nursery.  They have a bench there with rows and rows of
different colors.  It was quite a site,  I think I'll take a lunch next time.


Thanks,

Chris in CO
