Bad storm = bad news

Oh dear, a really strong northerly wind on Thursday, together with torrential rain has made my buddleia look quite ill.  I hope it does manage to pull round now things have got calmer as it still hasn't attracted one butterfly.  Obviously this points to what a bad year it has been in 2012 for butterflies.  With any luck the buddleia will come back stronger next year and butterflies might get weather that gives them more of a chance.

I'm not going to attach a picture of the buddleia, it's too depressing!

The bulbs I planted about 10 days ago still have potential to bring some late summer colour and nasturtiums are still flowering and dodging snails!
