a season of the buddleia

the eagles were extremely vocal today
as they perched in the tree tops above the lodge
( could love be in the air already??... sure feels like spring!!.. )
we began the first day to work in the gardens for season 2010
seems already that the plants are beginning to awaken
with + 10 degrees weather
today's sunshiny day was perfect of some early spring pruning
first of the kiwi vines
then a website lesson on early spring pruning of buddleia
that stated "be brave" and " prune it back hard"
please follow the adventure for a season of this beautiful plant
as additional photos are added as 2010 progresses
Buddleia davidii Butterfly Bush
