The weather warmed up just at the right time for buddleias to flower in profusion this year. Sadly, there have been virtually no butterflies around to take advantage of this abundance on the butterfly bushes. The long term decline because of the various ways the environment is being degraded has been heightened by this year’s mainly cold and wet weather. The same for bees.
So I decided to picture a buddleia flower from a different angle (literally). So here’s an end-on view.
