They love my neighbor's bush and that surprised me, but I guess they like blue, too! :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-19698699965050148692011-09-10T15:04:38.341-04:002011-09-10T15:04:38.341-04:00I like plumbago though I have none planted right n...I like plumbago though I have none planted right now.

I have plumbago around the front of the house but the butterflies prefer the lantana. Or maybe, it's because my lantana has more blooms than the plumbago. Mine definitely doesn't bloom as much as yours.Bomhttp://www.plantchaser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-33446094373495454712011-09-10T05:24:44.643-04:002011-09-10T05:24:44.643-04:00The plumbago is such a cheerful bloom and I like i...The plumbago is such a cheerful bloom and I like it even more because it is just not fussy at all. Loved that mind-picture of a younger Meems walking around adorned with plumbago stuck to you.

Now it grows through the limbs. I don't have the heart to cut it way back in the summer. I love the blue and red combination. There were several cassius blues here earlier this summer.SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-14008893657248411242011-09-09T16:09:37.754-04:002011-09-09T16:09:37.754-04:00Meems: You are so right about this is the true bl...Meems: You are so right about this is the true blue flower I can see so far.
