What other species are regularly grown in gardens in the UK - or even uncommonly grown? It's not a genus I've ever taken a lot of interest in. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

All make splendid climbing frames for clematis! B salvifolia - interesting that the variety flowers so much earlier than the species Is B x weyeriana the apricot globular flowered one? As to the rest - I need to do some looking at books. How hardy are they? - there's a big difference between Cornwall and Yorkshire. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Just looked at mine.. Small flowerheads not fully formed. Usually very good for Red Admirals when in flower, but coincidentally saw my first RA today on the pink escallonia which is in flower atm. The only ones I know are B davidii, B globosa, and that other one with round flowers in apricot which flowers a lot later.

All make splendid climbing frames for clematis! Deeply envious :-) In my next life I'm going to live and garden in cornwall.... -- David |

quote Those look like last year's dead flowers to me. Isn't it a bit
early for buddleia to be in flower? -- Kay unquote They also look just like last years dead flowers to me as well. Did you prune them back this spring? Certainly should have and they certainly shouldn't be in flower yet, not even those that haven't been pruned. Mike |

Kay, my Alternitfolia is in flower now, smelling absolutely heavenly, it's been in flower about two to three weeks and looks really good this year. I've trained it as a small weeping tree and it's much the best way to see it. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
