I noticed an interesting flowering scrub near Grindley Brook Locks on the
Shropshire Union canal and wondered if anyone can identify it. Quite a
few people stopped to take photos and the assistant lock keeper has been
asking everyone who stopped to look at it if they knew what it was called
:-)

The first photo has a better colour rendition than the closeup.

Cheers,

buddleia alternifolia ?

I recently discovered that putting plant names into google images is
amazingly helpful!

Try a Google Image seach on Buddleia alternifolia. That looks a good
possibility.


Thanks Sacha and Bob. That fits the bill perfectly. I'll let the lock
keeper know if I see him.

Cheers,
Dave
