Go ahead & rub it in, about the buttefly bushes! LOL!!!!!!!!!! No really, I am hapy for you. Only wish they would grow as well hee as they did in central AL. You wouldn't think 1 plant zone would make such a hugh difference. Maybe we just get too much rain here for them to be happy.

That's awesome, thank you! These butterfly bushes go nuts here in California. I cut them all the way back and every year they grow back up to 16 feet tall, FULL of flowers for the hummingbirds and butterflies!

I emjoyed seeing your beautiful flowers. I saw more of your repurposing of the cindar blocks. I eny that you are able to have a butterfly bush. I transplanted one from a previous home in central AL. to the deep South of Mobile Al. It came out & bloomed beautifully & up & died, tho I kept it watered, which isn't usually neccessary here since we get sooo much rain off of the Gulf of Mexico. Same thing happened to a 2nd. butterfly bush cutting. Makes me sad since it is a wonderful evergreen bush that blooms for 3 seasons in the South. Just NOT this far South, I suppose. Loved your wimiscal frogs. Nice patio respite are.
