The last of our big three butterfly bushes pushed out its blooms.
Behold, to the right, the multi-colored beauty.
We loved the completed trifecta in the triangle garden in the backyard of the cherished Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood.
Ta-da.
Yeah, I love the look back there, for sure.
No question about it.

Nice.. I have a nice purple one that attracts all kinds of butterflies. In fact I sorely need to go out and dead head the bush after being away for 9 days! They also love purple cone flowers.
