Butterfly Bushes..Your Personal Favorites?
Ok, I am sure that this subject has probably been covered here before at some time. If so, forgive me, and participate only if you'd like. I adore butterfly bushes, and they reign supreme here at my house in terms of butterfly attraction and attention. I'd like to know which varieties are your favorites. Please name 3 favorites (that you already own), starting with your most favorite at #1. I have 7 or 8 different varieties in my yard. My favorites of those that I have are:
1. Sungold
2. Pink Delight
3. Royal Red
Hey, can someone tell me if Rainbow and Bi-color are two different bushes? My friend gave me a little bush this Spring which she was sure was a Rainbow. Now, I'm not sure about it. You can take a look and see what you think.
Here is a link that might be useful:
A lot of the Buddleias which you all name sometimes last for only a couple of years in my zone 5, but I LOVE my plain old purples!! I am starting to surround them with tall Goldenrods and the show should be spectacular next year. Today the Red Admirals were covering them. :O)
Regarding Rainbow/bicolor~~sometimes if a plant is patented and yet propagated (but not licensed to do so) by a nursery they don't sell it under the 'brand name' but rather some generic name. That could be the case with 'bicolor'. I have a bicolor too and the butterflies seem to like it.
Also 'Royal Red' is well liked. I have Ellen's but don't see much activity on it...I wonder why.
I buy the newer hybrids in hopes that they are more sterile and won't reseed to eliminate issues with invasiveness.
My goldenrods are coming into bloom too and they are next to a buddliea.
1. Pink Delight
2. Royal Red
3. Adonis Blue
Here is a link that might be useful: Kim's Garden
The only 2 varieties I have (as of this year) is Black Knight and Pink Delight. Although the PD gets attention the BK is the reigning king! I will be looking into everyone elses favorites since I didn't know a couple of them exsisted until now! Thanks for feeding my "addiction"!
Here's a link to a photo of 'Bicolor'. It has some yellow/gold in it because it is said to be a Dr. Michael Dirr selection out of Buddleia 'Honeycomb' a yellow flowering butterfly bush.
MissSherry, I still marvel at the beauty of Ellen's Blue. I think it was the first actual "blue" butterfly bush????
Here is a link that might be useful:
Wow Sherry, Ellen's Blue is gorgeous!! I want that one! I have never seen such a blue one. Hey, I just came across one called a "Fountain Butterfly Bush." I've never seen such a thing. Anyone have this one?
Is the Adonis as blue as the Ellen's? My least fav is probably my Nanho Blue.
I had an Adonis Blue, which was the most beautiful shade of DARK blue, almost navy blue. Unfortunately, it wouldn't grow for me, never getting more than about 1' tall - it got overgrown by my Sonset lantana and died. I've thought about replanting it, if I could find a spot in a raised bed where it would get no competition. Still, most butterfly bushes are vigorous enough to make a place for themselves. Ellen's Blue isn't as dark, but it's very vigorous, without being HUGE like Royal Red and some others, so I love it.
Like I said, I'd like to try Adonis Blue again, though. The color of those flowers - what few I got - was to die for!
For: weed30...I grow a very nice small one called WHITE BALL. The name derives from the shape of the bush, not from the shape of the blooms. It is a white that is constantly in bloom (if dead-headed). It is advertised at 3' x 3' when fully grown. I ordered mine as a small, recently rooted plant this spring, so it is in it's first year of growth. Mine has reached about 18" x 18" this year. The plant is a densely branched and foliaged specimen in my garden. The attached photo shows it this past week. It has been quite effective in attracting butterflies of all types but the larger butterflies seem to be more drawn to my other larger bushes. There is also available a smaller buddleia named BLUE CHIP that tops out at 20" x 20". I don't grow that one. The majority of the bushes recommended by the others on this post, usually top out at 6'-7'.
This is potted and grown in a 15 gallon pot.
My favorites among those that I grow are:
Potter's Purple
Black Knight
White Profusion
Pictures of most of mine are attached to help in making choices.
Potter's Purple
Black Knight
White Profusion
Miss Ruby
Nanho Purple
Purple Emperor
Gosh Bob, those pics are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them. I have a fairly green thumb and don't normally have much trouble keeping anything alive, but the Blue Chip that my sister bought for me ($26) was the exception. She got two of them for herself and one for me. They were all in large pots, and they all died. I have another friend who has a very very green thumb, and hers died as well. So, I am not recommending Blue Chip at all.
Attraction is the #1 choice here
Then my Rainbow---Bi-color---are these indeed the same?
then the purples.
I wanted a blue BF bush & purchased 2 Lo & Behold "Blue Chips" & they both died! Lucklily I purchased them from a garden center that had a 1 year warranty on their plants!
I would like the best true blue...Adonis or Ellen's??? Which is bluer? Which is more compact?

River Test 'One Fly' Competition
The 'Dream Team' of Chris Tarrant, Geoffrey Palmer and Chris Sandford have entered the River Test' One Fly' competition on Friday 26 April.
On this, the fifth One Fly Competition on the River Test, 30 of the best trout fishermen in the UK, will gather on the banks of the iconic river, to compete for glory in a fly fishing challenge that pits them against the native brown trout.
Rules dictate that just one single fly is to be used for the entire day, testing the skill and wile of the angler because, if you lose it, you're out!
The Dream Team is back to defend its title from last time when they won with Chris Sandford's fly, the 'Duckin Feadly'. Presenter Chris Tarrant and new member, actor Geoffrey Palmer, join him which must guarantee a day of fine fishing and no short measure of entertainment value.
Pretty Clever Pictures is covering the team and will be producing a short film of the highlights of the day, culminating in presentations of the prizes and donations to three chosen charities.
For further details contact Gelly at Pretty Clever Pictures on: 01730 817899 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Sweet and sustainable, what could be better? Spice it up while promoting global ideals and you've got an idea that's deliciously irresistible. That's just what the multi-disciplinary non-profit Terry* is doing this month by sponsoring a gingerbread house contest that is as edible as it is engaging. The deadline for entries is midnight PST, December 31, 2007, so visit the Bake For a Change website for the contest rules and submission guide lines. Read on for details…
Terry* is a project out of the University of British Columbia aimed at addressing global issues such as AIDS, climate change, poverty and sustainability. A partnership between the sciences and humanities is at the core of its mission. What better way to spark dialogue than filling the winter air with warm scents and letting visions of gingerbread dance through your head?
You can be the architect but each house must contain at least four identifiable, sustainable building elements. Think energy-efficiency, water conservation, sustainable materials and, don't forget, edible. The challenge is to Bake For a Change and create a house that exists in harmony with the environment, but is good enough to eat.
The deadline for entries is midnight PST, December 31, 2007, so visit the Bake For a Change website for the contest rules and submission guide lines.
Think Globally, Bake Locally.

There's nothing mysterious about the origin of the name of the popular 1980s store, 5-7-9.

The family of Peter Pavlovski, the TTC employee who was killed by a subway train early Friday is remembering him as a "dedicated father and loving husband."
"Our family is grieving the tragic and untimely death of our beloved Peter, together with countless others who had the privilege of knowing him," the family said in a statement released Sunday. "He was a hard worker and generous to a fault."
"We appreciate the outpouring of grief from family, friends, neighbours and colleagues," the statement continued. "We ask for your respect for our privacy in the difficult days ahead and for your continued prayers."
Pavlovski, 49, a married father of three, was working on a northbound section of the subway track, north of Yorkdale station, when he and another crew member were struck by a southbound subway work car around 4:45 a.m.
The second worker was treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries to his head, TTC chief executive officer Andy Byford told reporters near the scene Friday.
The investigation into what safety procedures were in place at the time of the accident is still ongoing.

Report: Buck Showalter rips Derek Jeter
Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter isn't backing down from the American League East's big boys.
In fact, it seems as if Showalter is going out of his way to antagonize the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
More on Buck's Blast
When Buck Showalter called out the Red Sox and the Yankees, the real message was to his team, writes David Schoenfield. That message? We're done with being bullied. Blog
Theo Epstein has heard it before -- it's easier to build a winner when you can spend. But he's got a 25-man roster full of home-grown prospects as a rebuttal, writes Gordon Edes. Blog
In an interview in the April edition of Men's Journal, Showalter lashed out at Yankees captain Derek Jeter as well as Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, according to a report in the Bergen (N.J.) Record.
"The first time we went to Yankee Stadium, I screamed at Derek Jeter from the dugout," Showalter told the magazine, according to the Bergen Record. "Our guys are thinking, 'Wow, he's screaming at Derek Jeter.' Well, he's always jumping back from balls just off the plate. I know how many calls that team gets -- and yes, he [ticks] me off."
Speaking about the Red Sox, Showalter mocked the notion that Epstein's biggest offseason acquisitions -- namely, left fielder Carl Crawford and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez -- were indicative of the Red Sox GM's savvy.
"I'd like to see how smart Theo Epstein is with the Tampa Bay [Rays] payroll," Showalter told Men's Journal, according to the Record. "You got Carl Crawford 'cause you paid more than anyone else, and that's what makes you smarter? That's why I like whipping their butt. It's great, knowing those guys with the $205 million payroll are saying, 'How the hell are they beating us?' "
Showalter told the Record last week that he might have been better off toning down his comments in Men's Journal, but he did confirm that he made them.
Asked Thursday about his comments, Showalter said he didn't mean to be insulting and acknowledged "maybe it is envy or something on my part."
On Thursday, Red Sox manager Terry Francona said he had been given "the short version" of the story through a Red Sox staffer.
Francona didn't want to respond to the story itself, but defended his general manager.
"Whatever," Francona said. "For the record, I think Theo's really smart, whether he has a high payroll or not. ... I'll stay away from that."
Francona paused a moment, then added: "I think Theo's proved with his choice of managers that he's pretty smart."

Three students from Monash University's School of Rural Health at Churchill are the lucky recipients of bursaries that will support them for the duration of their course.
After a successful result in 2014, the Alumni Outreach Campaign will be returning in 2015. Current Monash students will be aiming to talk to more than 30,000 alumni.
A group of early Monash alumni – the Monash Pioneers – are inviting fellow alumni and Monash supporters to join them in giving back to Monash and the community.
Through the backing of a generous philanthropist, Monash researchers are helping to eliminate dengue.
A personal connection led Gordon Wheaton and his family to establish the Wheaton Family PhD Scholarship in Blood Diseases.
Tony and Lisa Palmer hope to leave a lasting legacy at Monash. Their Award for Excellence is an idea they hope will gain momentum and grow by encouraging others to give back.
Mr Julian Burnside AO QC has established the Chamber Music Australia Chair of Composition at Monash University's Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music.
Our program of research and education expands and enriches lives.

Open to all current HCF members!
Every Friday night beginning at 6pm, join TEAM HCF in completing the 2015 Open WODs!
HCF already has a great community of members, but many of us don't get to see each other on a daily basis due to the different times we walk through the door.
We will be getting teams of cross fitters (of all skill levels) together to compete in a fun, no-pressure setting to support each other as we test ourselves in this year's open.
The caveat here is that you must sign up! You can register for the Open here: http://games.crossfit.com/
More info: http://games.crossfit.com/article/whats-new-2015
Here's the general idea:
Team captains will be chosen from the gym at large based on their influence, positivity and energy levels in classes and at events. These captains will then "draft" their teams by pulling names of those members who have signed up for the open, and want to participate, in a rotating draw and then notify their team members. Teams will be drawn the Thursday before the Open begins and listed immediately afterwards.
Each captain will come up with a team name. Originality and creativity is encouraged and always appreciated (e.g. Kippin it Real, Can't Snatch This, etc.).
+2 Points – Completing your workout with the other team participants at scheduled "Open Throwdown" event (we generally do the workouts once a week in large group w/ makeups on Sundays): Every member of a team that completes an Open workout at Hoosier Crossfit during the designated time (Friday night). Maximum two points per athlete per workout.
+1 Point – Completion of an Open workout during a non-designated time (make-up WOD) or a make-up WOD at another affiliate if you're traveling.
+1 Point – Top 3 Male/ Top 3 Female: the top three male scores AND the top three female scores for Hoosier Crossfit will earn their team one extra point per athlete per workout.
+5 Points (team) – Spirit: The team with the most noise, pride, and PRESENCE each week will receive 5 bonus points.
+2 Points (weekly bonus) – Spirit of the Open. Voted on and based on individual effort; Not the size of the beast in the fight, but rather: the size of the fight in the beast.
At the end of the day this is supposed to be a FUN community event for ALL Hoosier Crossfit members! Any athlete of ANY skill level is encouraged to sign up for the Open, get to know your fellow crossfitters and have a good time with a great group of people.
New information to come so keep your eyes open.
Join HCF and friends for our March FREE Community workout! A great time to get motivated with like minded individuals to get your spring fitness started right!
1030am: CrossFit Kids FREE workout!
11am: Adults FREE workout!
Sometimes you're friends need a little push! Invite them to do a workout with you! This event isn't only for members of our gym, though! If Someone is out there who wants to try our program, come risk free! We're not charging for this FREE class!
Join us for a HUGE after party with all your HCF friends, family and fans on Friday April 3 at 6pm. (One week after the last open workout).
We will be giving a breakdown of the open points from each week as well as the overall team winner and standouts from the 5 weeks that 86 of our members participated in!
We are currently working on details for the space, but save the date and time and share with your fellow peeps!

they want to weed out the supposedly shady characters with the middle name "hussein".
oh, wait ...
Never mind the names you can almost guarantee that the idiots running the DHS haven't taken into account that dates of birth are always written day/month /year in the rest of the world as opposed to month/day/year in the USA.
It's not big brother that worries me it's Big Moron the American equivalent.
Are there enough spaces in the name field for Prince Charles (with forty-eleven names) to travel? I know that some years ago, I was denied a subscription to a magazine because my mailing address was to be in King of Prussia, PA.
I just keep piling up the airline points on my credit card (and do what's necessary to keep them from expiring) while my wife and I tour the US in our 37-foot motorhome.
Have fun, frequent fliers. Your government is protecting you!!!
"Voluntary"? Another TSA directive requires private pilots to get a background check to access our planes at small, commuter airports. The directive (I found the text) specifically says Social Security numbers are voluntary, but I fought for 6 months with the local staff NOT to provide it. They wouldn't recognice my passport! Step, by step, big brother is coming...
Marton H, you are right. One of the few unique identification keys is the passport number, or anyway a national ID.
Trasliteration of non-latin alphabets could create operational disasters, unless the TSA implemented a tolerant policy, which would in fact eliminate the security introduced by the new directive upfront.
In the end, airlines will greatly benefit by receiving a new stream of passenger information. If they are wise, they can use it to feed their intelligence-starved CRM and FFP.
My wife´s first name is Nelly but was spelled NELY on her birth certificate. Most of her documents, bank accounts,AAdvantage,second passport, etc have been spelled with two ll´s.We live in South America & over the years this has given her a surprising number of problems. It has taken about two years to resolve the situation and now all docs. are with ONE EL!
The gentleman with the impressively-named aunt should rest easy: even the mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers amongst the TSA's front line should recognise that she is most certainly no islamic fundamentalist.
A few years ago I declined to comply with a (then) optional requirement - to remove my shoes at security - and as a result was subjected to a hostile, surprisingly intrusive search. Decline to comply with TSA requests at your peril.
Last time I renewed my passport they dropped my middle initial - I am now Firstname Lastname, period. Doesn't match any of my other ID. I called the passport agency and they told me not to worry about it, and since I was about to leave for the Middle East, I followed their advice. Now, however, I am worried.
In the US, the first name is always the first of your names, while that is not necessarily the case in other countries. In Sweden you might be known by your second or third name, you would tend to have your ticket issued in that name, and that will get you in trouble with US authorities.
Once you have registered as frequent traveller with an airline, you will find it almost impossible to make any changes at how your name should appear in your boarding card.
Seems that the TSA is unaware that in most nations, when it comes to names, people tend to go way further than the "John Smiths": an aunt of mine, who is also a frequent international traveler, goes by the rather impresive name of "Patricia Federica Raquel de los Sagrados Corazones de Jesús y de María Gutiérrez Murguía" (yes, that's he official name), poor auntie Paty, I forecast some rough times for her ahead when traveling.
Of course most airlines can't even deal with the difference between u and ü or between n and ñ (don't even talk about more exotic letters or even the manifold transcriptions of non-latin alphabets), so this is a lost cause from the start...
