Optimistic Buddleja

As forecast, the weather turned today. We woke up to rain and a refreshing 18°C, and it never got warmer than 22°C - ten degrees below yesterday’s temperature. 
A perfect day for a little gardening (after the rain), and household chores. 

The Buddleja still produces fresh buds.There still aren’t many butterflies around, though. I don’t think I have ever seen so few of them all summer long.
