Best Buddleia Poems

Don’t plant cabbages near your buddleia bush
Not unless you want cabbages turned into mush
The butterflies love buddleia but they love cabbages too
And the baby caterpillars...

Brilliant blue butterfly
Frequently fluttering freely
Delicately dancing on dahlias

Softly soaring skyward
Buddleia bushes brimming with beauty
Enchanting everyone’s eyes

In an old fashioned garden behind a stone wall
Hollyhocks and sunflowers growing so tall
Red rambling roses drape over a fence
Old fashioned flowers with colours intense.

In the spring, I'm a Daffodill
In many hues, dancing on the hill
Swaying with  the gentle breeze

White butterflies flap 
around the plump blooms
of a buddleia bush, heady

Brushes against my face
Sunlight teases my eyes

Bouquet of fragrances to my nose
Guides me to my garden

Through the cracks in my paving
I'm growing lemon thyme
The rosemary I'm saving
In my cooking will taste divine.

Apple mint and dill, Parsley and chives
Basil and coriander,...

Butterflies flutter by
brightening my pretty
borders with rich colours.
Breathtaking jewelled wings
bring me such great delight
Blue Buddleia blooms are
bedecked with their beauty.

Colourful garden
Herbaceous border delights
Flowers ripple, breeze
Fluttering beautiful flash
Settled on Buddleia.

Soft gentle rainfall
Shelter taken under leaf
Out of human sight
Herbaceous perfume pervades
Solitary walk....

ROSE MOON FOR LOVERS

Vibrancy
  of vesper-velvet gown
Buddleia glass slippers fall to ground

Fairy lights,
  the climaxing of stars,
in blue-eyed diamond-facet orbs

Riveting

Whispering gossamer wings
flutter on the zephyr breeze
I gaze in awe
as a beautiful butterfly
alights on buddleia blossoms
and marvel
at its bejewelled wings
which resemble a stained glass window

Natures aromas, fragrance naturally disperse 

Delightful infusions for our senses to indulge,

Fresh cut grass, delectation, beautiful Ladies purse,

Old English roses bloom with scent they divulge,

On their spiral flight, through the sky
You might see the North American Mariposa
While on your patio enjoying...
