Thanks High Country Gardens for sending a free plant mixed in with the monarda!Swimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-25565475969034025782012-03-12T13:09:08.611-04:002012-03-12T13:09:08.611-04:00Well, if this is buddleia, I have developed anothe...Well, if this is buddleia, I have developed another hypothesis: The monarda received from High Country Gardens had some root/plant for buddleia in it, which took off over the fall/winter. Hope it is, since it helps make up for the other plants from the local nursery's going-out-of-business sale that died.Swimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-10863406932882476642012-03-11T22:38:17.764-04:002012-03-11T22:38:17.764-04:00I did another 'smell test' on my Buddleia,...I did another 'smell test' on my Buddleia, no real scent. Like eu.phorbia said, they can selfseed, and birds can help in that arena.

The leaves do have a faint scent, but maybe I am imagining or maybe it's still small and in winter growth mode. Sure looks like buddleia from photos on the web site. I never planted buddleia.Swimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-65653812498919835702012-03-10T17:17:51.905-05:002012-03-10T17:17:51.905-05:00I second the Buddleia.

Do the leaves have a scent when crushed? Monarda has a square stem. Helps with ID. Good luck.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.com
