Afraid I can top this. I trimmed my Buddelia back=k this spring. Threw the
trimming over a bank where all bad brush goes..LOL and forgot about it.
About two weeks ago I went to through more grass trimmings over and
discovered a three foot tall Buddeilia in full bloom. I sent hubby over the
edge to retrieve for a friend,,,LOL Suebuggy
