Aww Wendy don't say that....my only Buddleia that's starting to flower after a VERY long wait is indeed white! Lol

my family have a white budlea aswell like you and Wendy and my family get lots of Butterflies on the buddlea. Its the plant I see the most butterflys and bees on when I go there. when I went in the garden there the Red admirals and cabbage whites were flying around and feeding on them they were mainly Red admirals though. so there’s still hope if you have a white budlea aswell if your lucky.
