Here in Essex I have butterflies everywhere! Yesterday while hanging the
washing out there were at least four - three that landed on me and one that
landed on the washing line! We have a massive buddliah with hundreds of
prongs of flowers and there are always a few on it along with honey bees.

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!)
