I do the same, the butterfly bush dies down during our cold winters. The seeds provide food for the birds and when spring arrives, the bush is cut back. During the summer, Hummingbirds and Monarch Butterflies are seen every day in the garden visiting the flowers. Thank you for sharing, Gisela
Don't you love how that works?! And the twigs always look completely dead to me and I think I've lost the whole shrub...then VIOLA...life!! Pretty shade of purple this one, Nance ;)
good morning, ka-open ko lang, karating galing sa "Circle of Life".....walking sa akin. natawa ako nitong words mo......:-)
daming gawin pag meron garden ano? pero pag spring-summertime, ang ganda naman.....lalong very happy and enjoy ang feeling mo pagmakita mo silang very healthy at may mga flowers na,
kahit na ako wlang garden, tingin lang sa kapitbahay or sa mga parks, makita ang mga magagandang mga bulaklak, feeling ko sa himmel...
ay oo nga, yon ingrs. tama, yon green spinach, pwede rin salad gurken?...parang pepino ba yon? tapos hindi bacon ang gamit nya kung hindi yon malaking sausage?---fleishwurst in german.
lahat i-fry mo kaunti-gisa?...sandali lang para crispy pa ang mga vege, yon tapos na....balot mo sa seaweeds-seetang.......kain na.
simple lang pala, prang springrolls?
tapos ang mahal pa kung kakain tayo sa restaurant, or bili ng finish sa asia store.
tapos yon spices nya, Kikkoman soya sauce at sesame oil lang......
sigi, have fun doing it, so easy lang talaga......

I love different seasons and you captured the change so well here.
Lovely color, Nance. Are the flowers shaped like butterflies?
Oh, how I love the summer look...beautiful.
You had a good idea to take photos of the same plant each season.
Thanks for your visit, dear. Good week for you!
What a great way to show the cycle of the seasons! Lovely shots!
And thanks for your nice comment on my blog! :)
What a wonderful plant, the butterfly bush. No winter version? In case I decide to grow one of these, I now know spring is pruning time.
Beautiful Nature. Congrats for your text.

Nance: Neat lesson on that special bush. Do you dig your Dahlias up and store them for winter?
Don't you love how that works?! And the twigs always look completely dead to me and I think I've lost the whole shrub...then VIOLA...life!! Pretty shade of purple this one, Nance ;)
Wow very clever post.. I finally joined hehehe..
Here's my first TF entry. Hope you can come by!
The cycle of life...includes pruning. To be sure.
Oh Nance, thanks for sharing photos of the butterfly bush and how it grows. They look so dainty during summer.
great post you have here!
I want to follow your site can I?
Thanks for the share!
What a creative post, yes, that's what life is...
Thanks for sharing and visiting my blog too.
Spring is definitely the best time to prune the butterfly bush, just as it is springing back to life again.
very nice post! ^_^
i love purple flower...
what a great interpretation of the different seasons.

Round and round the garden goes.. I like this series of life photos, Nance. :o) Happy week ((HUGS))
Lovely blooms!
Nice circle of life with the flowers :)
It's beautiful!
I already visualize what my garden look like during my retirement years...
Good day, Ate Nance...
The cycle of life well documented!
Nice shots!
