I was gonna take some photos of my butterfly bush before the flowers died and say - 'no butterflies despite leaving pruning till early May so as to produce late flowers'. Couldn't believe I actually scared butterfly away whilst doing just that - first of the year! Last year was very poor too, flowers were dead by the time the butterflies arrived. Two yrs ago it was butterflies all day long every day for weeks (no record of when exactly tho). From 3pm onwards only one butterfly remained and that preferred sunning itself on my white walls to the bush. Enjoy, I did!
