Buddleia Davidii, a.k.a. butterfly bush, a.k.a. an invasive species originally native to China. Now widely dispersed across the Pacific Northwest and likely visible at a road cut or rail line near you. I used to cycle out to my Horseshoe Bay paper route along a decomissioned BCR right-of-way, which, from August to mid-October, was a blizzard of eucalyptus-colored leaves and sweet-smelling mauve cones. We buried some of my grandmother's ashes on a buddleia-studded hillside on Bowen Island overlooking the sea. Big shout out to this gorgeous biological intruder!  Posted by Hello
