Butterflies on my Butterfly Bush

I love when a plant does what the plant books promise!  Last year my friend Else gave me a little cutting from her butterfly bush - this year it is about ten feet tall and five feet wide - and attracting butterflies just as the plant books say!  I am thrilled as I usually see very few butterflies in my garden.  Yesterday there were five of these beautiful Swallowtails on the bush at the same time.

Your Butterfly Bush is a bit further along than mine.
I love the one we have, it attracts Hummingbirds too!
