Buddleia

It was t-shirt weather in the garden today. A bit bedraggled after a storm this is my yellow buddleia, probably B. x weyeriana. I asked at the local garden retail outlet (rather than a nursery) what it was and the person looked at the label and declared it to be "Black Knight" somehow missing that the picture on the label was of dark purple flowers while the plant actually had orange/yellow flowers. Ah well.

I've been cutting back a normal Buddleia until the wheezing set in. I always find when cutting it back something catches on the back of my throat and I have to stop. I know I shouldn't cut it back hard now but really I don't mind if I lose it. I have about fifty seedlings on tufa in the troughs and I could always buy a new one. Might have to buy it in flower though.
