Butterfly Bush Surprise

A big surprise was provided by the Butterfly Bushes this week. This time of year their normal flowers are gone (and so are the Butterflies). So I was quite excited to see a flower of a different look on two of the bushes. One white and one purple. These flowers are very different from the normal flower and I have never seen them before. There were only a couple of them with the purple one being the most interesting. The normal flower cover the bush with color at the end of almost every branch. I don't know what function these flowers provide but they sure were neat.
