Now here's a puzzler for you gardeners! Backstory: we have a huge butterfly bush in my yard thats been there for like 5-7 years. Its flowers are dark purple like this:
Now 2 years ago when my stepdad was trimming it back for the hell of it he took one of the big healthy branches and stuck it along the edge of the outside of the veggie garden like 15ft away. Well it took root and grew last year but didnt really bloom. Well this year its huge and bloomed alot. Now heres the puzzling thing: the blooms on it are MUCH lighter purple. Almost like a lavender instead of a dark purple. Heres one of the new bushes blooms:
Weird huh? Im wondering id it like cross pollinated with the pink lavender bush like 20feet away. Is that even possible lol? Either way i thought it was pretty wild! Hope everyones gardens are doing well!
I LOVE the smell of Star gazerillies! Hubby tells me they stink. I think its just so he doesn't have to buy them, lol......
