pleasing light green 
color. The plant may

Butterfly Bush 
So-called because it 
seems to attract butter¬ 
flies in large numbers.

alone the common little 
yellow species of butter¬ 
fly, but also the large 
and gorgeously colored 
butterflies that swarm 
about it. It produces 
long graceful stems. 
The buds and foliage al¬ 
so are inborne by the 
hundreds on a flower 
head which is frequently 
ten inches long. When in 
bloom plants are liter¬ 
ally covered with beau¬ 
tiful orchid-like flowers, 
curiously marked with 
crimson, purple, lilac 
and yellow blotches.
