Just spotted these dead buddleia flowers hanging over the footpath on our walk today.
Strangely beautiful still...a sort of dried flower.
They looked a chocolate brown colour that was rather nice.
Three good things:
1. The chap from the garage who live three doors down delivered my serviced & repaired car back today.
2. The shed man rang!
3. We have passed planning permission for our build!
@judithg This was taken in a garden where the house is under offer so obviously a neglected garden at the moment...the house is empty. I was surprised how pretty it looked!
Glad things have gone well this day - car delivery is rather good and only 3 doors down! Our gardener cut our buddlea back but have never done it before. Should have. Even our rhododendrons should be pruned apparently!
Because the house has been empty for a while the garden has been left to get overgrown so the usually pruned plants been left to do their own thing. A surprise to see this, I wondered if it was actually Buddleia to start with.
Great news about the build, congratulations! Nice spot on the buddleia. I trimmed mine back too late last year so the flowers didn't turn up until September. Need to remember it is March for that job this year!
Lovely how they hold their shape. I pass a beautifully dried hydrangea bush on my way to the village shops....must stop and click! Great to have car dropped off like that and delightful that your planning permission has been approved. Exciting times ahead.

Need to return in the summer and photograph the butterflies, looks like it flowers well!
