7-19-09 Butterfly Bush

Don and I stopped at the Armstrong Nursery in Newport Beach (1500 East Coast Hwy
Newport Beach, CA. 92660 US ) on our way back from visiting the boat. We'd been planning a hedge for the front yard and had been talking about California Lilac (
Ceanothus pronounced /ˌsiː.əˈnoʊθəs/), so decided to check whether they had any. They do. They also have some topiary butterfly bushes (Buddleia pronounced BUD-lee-ah). We purchased five butterfly bushes (pictures below) but won't have them delivered until we return from vacation.
