We had so much fun at the lake, we just couldn't come home.
I have a gazillion pups photos to share, but I need some help identifying an interesting bush (in above photo) I discovered on a lake island.
The round balls are fragrant and the butterflies and bees love it.
Does anyone know the name of this beautiful plant?
~~~~~~
Thank you, Jackdaddy, for identifying the mystery plant as a Buttonbush!
I would love to have one in my yard...
Hmmm, Maybe I should take a shovel and bucket the next time we visit the island.

What a beautiful retreat, gorgeous pictures! Nice way to beat the heat, but I am certainly no plant expert...xoxo
Very interesting and pretty bush! Glad you were able to find the name. Did the smell of the plant over come wet doggie smell? (hehe)
I don't think I would want to leave that place either!
Don't forget, we moved to http://dogisgodinreverse.com/
Great to have smart blog readers!! Beautiful pics! I am glad you are home, but I know you want to go back!
What did you do about the dog ramp for the boat?
Welcome back! Your vacation looks wonderful! Lots of love, Holly and Mom
It looks like you all had a real good time at the lake. The pictures of the Button Bush are great...a very interesting plant. Hugs and wags, Mistaya
Sure looks like an ideal place to relax and have fun. I'd like to have a plant like that one, especially if it attracts butterflies.

Those butterflies are SO PRETTY!
Your pal, Pip

Button Bush - good name.
That video was wonderful.
I so want to do that.
What a wonderful slide show/video. Just like we were there! Lady is still totally in love with Buddy. He is one sweet, handsome boy.
So glad you are enjoying your summer. Best,
KT and Lady

I've never heard of a button bush but the name is quite appropriate.
