I chose a butterfly bush in a small piece of green space in front of the Pacific Museum of Earth. I don't know the scientific name for butterfly bush *yet*.
What strikes me about this plant is how it's placement almost seems accidental, even though this is a plant that is cultivated in gardens. Does in grow wild in this region as well? Where is it originally from? Are they invasive?
I have fear that someone may come along and just chop down all the plants in this little green space. It looks wild and ukempt, which is unusual for UBC'S grounds. The clover and other plants almost look like they are choking it out. Will my butterfly bush be cut down as collateral damage?

While sitting here, some people came along and stepped into the plants in this little green space to cross it. This one little thing made me feel ANGRY. It's day one and I already feel connected to this space and these plants.
