Cyclamen hederifolium, lovely, but I don't know when I planted them in the white and pink bed. Good job I decided to add extra colours recently, and mauve does go very nicely!

Ugh! This is the buddleia that seeds itself all over the place, and is a pig to get rid of. It started spreading on all the bomb sites back in world war 2 a pale mauve colour.
It is much better to grow the cultivars that don't spread like this if you plant this for the butterflies, like ''black knight'' or ''royal red'' - or for the pale mauve colour, try buddleia ''alternifolia'' a beautiful early flowering variety with scent!

As you say Tetters...

That looks like a very well stocked garden @Sheal

More bloomin Buddleia

 

[Tetters]

Ok smarty pants, so it's another mauve buddleia that I recently planted. Not the same as the last, but a new cultivar that stays very small. I thought it was worth giving this a try to see how it behaves. It is growing in the wildflower bit out front. One thing is for sure, this one will be much easier to prune.

I was only reading the other day that Buddleia are now classed as an invasive species in Germany. So could not agree with you more.

Ooh I love it when someone agrees with me

Something that I learned a long time ago. Never disagree with a woman! :-D

And don't try arguing with a Virgo woman.

It is @Tetters, but at the moment there's too much green shrubbery, I need to do something about that.

That sounds like my elder daughter, who's among a number of Virgo's in my family.
