Today is very sunny but there is a cool wind over much of the campus. However, there is very little wind in the protected corner where Budd is growing. It is warm and the plant has a healthy looking greenness about it. I, however, am sweating in the heat. I wonder if that lack of wind caused seeds to deposit here as the air slowed down. Is that how Budd got here?
There is a large group of people doing yoga on the lawn. They seem to be here once or twice a week over lunch. Thankfully they are not facing me, but they aren't
facing my plant either. Not many people pay attention to the little unassuming buddleja. People stop and sit to eat their lunch, but he kind of blends in. Maybe that's why he is still there and has yet to be picked or mowed down - camouflage.
I love how this plant blurs the lines between natural and cultivated. It also opens up the question: does it really matter?
