Buddleia but where are the butterflies?

My buddleia are in flower - but no sign of any butterflies - what is happening?
Enjoy the weekend

Lovely capture of these beautiful flowers. I hope they get some visitors soon.

Nice one

Lovely, hopefully they will come!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very pretty shot.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Pretty shot, Beryl. I worry that human activity is destroying more than we realize.

[Pat Knowles]

I have seen one or two in our garden but this rain is not attracting them this year I think.

[Sue Cooper]

Same in our garden Beryl. I think the weather's got a lot to do with it.

Such beautiful and healthy looking blooms! Yes, where are the butterflies? I hope they make it there soon, Beryl! (And fav for your striking capture!)

Pretty purple. I haven’t seen any butterflies at this flower either!

Hope the butterflies return. Maybe it is too chilly for them at the moment

[wendy frost]

A gorgeous colour buddleia Beryl but such a shame to know the butterflies are not arriving.

[Mallory]

This is beautiful. Love the colors.

[Maggiemae]

I hope you don't have to stare at these flowers for hours waiting for the butterflies. Perhaps their scent is not strong at the moment!

[Lois]

I always love the color of these bushes! I rarely have seen a butterfly on them!

Lovely flowers and capture.
