    Hi,

    I have attached a photograph of a flowering shrub/bush that is growing on the embankment behind by neighbour's house - it is in flower at the moment and appears to be a magnet for bees. What is it?!

    Thanks,

    Hi Phil, it's looking like Buddleja globosa, should attract lots of butterflies too :)

    Thanks! We hardly ever get any butterflies around here (I'm not sure why?!) but plenty of bees at the moment which is fabulous!
