When we first moved into this house, I saw a dead stump with some dried
seed pods on it. It looked like a dead
lilac to me and when I snapped the branch, it was brown so I knew it was dead for sure. Come
spring, lots of foliage sprouted, and it had a squarish stem with a faint smell. I assumed it was a mint or something invasive. Now, I see
flowers that are opened and they smell fantastic! I'm 99% sure its a butterfly bush...I've always wanted one, at least the previous owners left something good lol
