Buddleia davidii Royal Red - Bloom of the Week

The rich dark colour of this Buddleia is my favourite and it's at its best now.

The peacock butterfly posed beautifully for my photo and then closed its wings to hide those amazing colours and give me a charming silhouette.

So accommodating!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Love,
