My Butterfly bush is finally blooming. I have heard this plant is often referred to as the "Purple Penis Plant." Looking this up I found some interesting things.

I had a beautiful silver one. And many purples, pinks and blues. The silver was my favorite.

I did not know they came in different colors. Wonder if one can graft one colored stem to another.
@JackPedigo , closest I ever came to grafting was taping a cannabis branch back on the plant my dog knocked it off of. But it took.
@freeofgod A lot of non-fruit plants can be grafted even tomatoes.
Looks rather like a lilac bush .

Unfortunately, I have both and they need radical pruning every year.
Mine is flowering for the second time this year. It was glorious in March and now its coming on again!!

Never heard the alternative name you referred to. I prefer "butterfly plant" as we have enough of the other reference in the world. =0}

In the link numerous plants were shown including what looks like this plant. Of course English and the US often have different expressions.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
