Forgot to say, love the buddleias too. That one you've shown Chrissy is B. salvifolia (from South/Eastern Africa) and one of the few that thrives here. It and one of the pink ones (with large grey leaves--I think Wayne had one?) are all I have left of my original buddleias--all the davidia plants died, and I had to dig out the Madagascarian one because it kept trying to take over the garden AND house--one tendril would turn into a thick 3-metre branch before you knew it. But I do miss being able to grow most of the buddleias.
Of course, there are compensations! Here is the unscented purple cestrum with the yellow shrimp plant in the background, flowering through winter.
