Default Buddleia - dead head

Our next-door neighbours have had one for 20 years and it hangs over the
fence into our garden. I have never noticed any baby buddleias growing,
either in their garden or ours. My only problem with it is that they
have recently taken a dislike to it and keep cutting it back with a
vengeance. However, being sturdy, it just grows up again. I hope they
don't decide to uproot it, as we have a lovely butterfly show every
summer.


See! What did I say. Crotte de taureau!! ))

I just love my three plants - my favourite is the white one because it
glows at night. Something I've noticed however is that it's covered,
and always has been, with the little striped yellow snails. Interesting
isn't it?! The other two, a deep pink and a purple (this one smells
knocks you out), hang out onto the pavement. I have a loon on the loose
who every year tries to cut the branches that hang. He/she must just
try to pull on the branches - the damaged sometimes is terrible. Some
people ...
