there situations where the buddleja doesn't attract butterflies? Or is
it
the local geography, perhaps?

Could just be a general lack of butterflies.

Lack of Butterflies and Honey Bees Yes. Joan has 'cultivated a bed of
Nettles to try to encourage them to no avail.

Hmmm yes, my Mum and I were commenting last week at the lack of butterflies
this year. Still, the sedums are coming up for flowering - *that* will be
the acid test. We had loads and loads of butterflies on them last year (and
photos to prove it!)
