Butterfly Bush

I have wanted a Butterfly Bush for years and I have planted I don't know how many but have never succeeded in growing one.  I was surprised this week when a shrub bloomed at my son's house - a beautiful lilac colored butterfly bush.  Here I have babied the plants I have brought home and planted only to have them die, and my son pretty much ignores the shrubs along their house and they grow like crazy. This bush is just loaded with blooms. So pretty -- photo does not do it justice.  Since mine have never actually lived after I planted them I didn't realize this is what the shrub was until it bloomed.  That is my grandbaby, who is waving at her aunt who pulled up to the curb behind me as I was taking the photo.
