Purple flowers on the Buddleja davidii shrub have been attracting butterflies I've never seen before. The trick is .. to capture them & share with you. Once all the flowers, shrubs are placed, then I'll camp out for a 'butterfly session' ! The text below is from Floridata website. "The tiny flowers are irresistible to butterflies.
