The picture's from Bristol. They had an international graffiti art festival back in the simmer and the results are amazing.<br /><br />Helen - it dies back here in the winter too and springs back with a vengeance next season. 'Bullying' is a good word. Despite its attractiveness to butterflies, it's not a plant I like particularly.<br /><br />Janet - thanks :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-41128366477896340402011-11-17T06:58:53.217+00:002011-11-17T06:58:53.217+00:00Buddleias can be such a menace!

In eastern Canada, it often dies to the ground each winter, and any seedlings rarely survive. On the west coast, though, I understand it has become a similar pest, bullying in where it isn't wanted.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-83350374551676546282011-11-16T14:01:45.074+00:002011-11-16T14:01:45.074+00:00Buddleja is such a tenacious plant - the John Lewi...Buddleja is such a tenacious plant - the John Lewis Nurseries over at Longstock hold the national collection and also breed them - they have some amazing colours. <br /><br />The plant in your picture helps to give scale to the mural - great way to brighten up dull buildingsZoënoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-67555220419605434772011-11-16T12:45:38.252+00:002011-11-16T12:45:38.252+00:00Esther - so did I at the time!
Lea - thank you :)...Esther - so did I at the time!<br /><br />Lea - thank you :)<br /><br />BTW on Sunday there was a programme on BBC4 about <i>Weeds</i> (a repeat I think). Buddleia was cited as one of the v worst weeds. It costs our rail network £millions to keep it vaguely under control owing to its ability to root in the tiniest of cracks and production of many thousands of seeds per plant.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-14197267232924002122011-11-16T10:58:41.936+00:002011-11-16T10:58:41.936+00:00Very interesting!Very interesting!Leahttp://www.leasmenagerie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-83055274086103939472011-11-16T10:25:01.709+00:002011-11-16T10:25:01.709+00:00Had to peer to do so!Had to peer to do so!Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.com
