Eupatorium

Vey pretty the little buds have a metalic look about them;0)

Nice one Amy - a great insect plant.

Thanks both ,they are only just beginning to bloom :o)

Lovely plant.

Lovely picture, mine have nearly finished now except the dark leaved one thats nowhere near flowering yet.

Thanks Carol ,Kathy this has been slow to get started ,i'm worried about my dark leaved one it isn't doing anything and the leaves looked scorched :o(

Oh thats a shame Amy :-( my dark one was new last year and it has grown really well this year just no flowers yet, but then again this one grows pretty rapidly here too, collected the seed from the track at the bottom of the garden where theres loads of it growing wild :-)

I've decided to move it when it dies down Cathy it is being crowded out by a very tall ( approx 6ft)Helianthus 'Lemon Queen ' which is only just beginning to flower .. usuful note here on the paper work ! it says it's deer and rabbit proof ... I should have a garden full of them LOL ..
