Thank you for sharing this. So far, that hasn't happened here that has
been observed. I did add a Black Knight to my yard last summer. It's in
front by the fish pond so we'll see what happens as it gets larger and
produces more blossoms.
Watching the butterflies at the other bushes has been great. I have one
that is visible from the kitchen window as well as the patio. Prior to it,
they were in the front along the street and not in the line of sight from
the back yard.
It's been primarily bumblebees and honey bees competing with the
butterflies.
