Buddlejagarden

Dear Buddlejagarden, As a fellow obsessive about Buddleja, delighted to make your acquaintance. Some 20 years ago, when we had a one-acre chalk garden, I amassed what may have been the largest collection of species in the UK, thanks mostly to the generosity of the RBGE and others in Devon. Alas, I was obliged to sell up and am now reduced to a much more modest patch with just a small selection of butterfly favourites, butterflies being the foundation of my obsession. However, before moving, I donated several rarities inc. var. tibetica to the Longstock Park nursery, whither we now travel almost every Sunday, and enjoy the invaluable assistance of curator PM, as is probably obvious from the Wiki photo credits. Thank you for the edits; its not quite 'job done' as I'm still short of many photos, and have got into a few tangles with Peter over names, currently in a battle royal over cvs 'Fascinating' and 'Fascination'. Much enjoy your webpage, encouraged by your prop. ventures; I keep assuring Peter that fame and fortune await him once he trumps van der Weyer and raises a cross with the colour of globosa but with the panicles of davidii. As for me, I've a contact at the USDA Washington who's currently trying to get me marrubiifolia from Arizona, and my one Somali student searching for polystachya along the Gulf of Aden. Hope springs eternal. Thanks for writing. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 10:48, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear BG Quite agree with you over the Weyer. cvs. I took Peter Moore to task over this, as I couldn't tell the difference between Longstock's Golden Glow and Moonlight. I can't tell the difference between Sungold and Honeycomb either, but then neither can anybody else. Please upload and substitute your photo of Moonlight. Minpap Reve de Papillon: I had refrained from writing articles on 2 and 3 because of the absence of any references. The cardinal rule of Wikipedia is that all content must be verifiable. I'm in contact with Pep. Minier, from whom I buy elm cvs every year. Minier will send specimens of Minpap2 and M3 this December; in the meantime I've asked for their ancestry details. If the three only differ in colour, I'm minded to merge them in the one 'Minpap' article, as I have done with the 'Pixie' cvs. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 10:44, 3 September 2012 (UTC) (email: andrew.brookes@port.ac.uk )

Proposed deletion of Buddleja globosa 'HCM98017'
