Feral Buddleia (5/5)
Image by Darkroom Daze
Butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii) growing out of cracks in the semi-derelict former Express Dairy building in Herne Hill, London.
When we first came to live in this road (Rosendale Road), this building was the depot of the local milk delivery company, Express Dairy at No. 279. It was later taken over as a depot for a Chinese food China wholesaler. The style looks rather Art Deco (the building in the background is separate). It now seems to be inactive and semi-derelict. The ‘garden escape’ shrub, Buddleia davidii here seen in flower, has done what it does all over London, colonising almost every available niche, gutter, crack and crevice in neglected buildings and other structures.
I’m amazed how it does this so successfully when there seems to be little or nothing for such a big plant to take root in and thrive. I once had one in a garden container with reasonable soil in it and it never got more than half a metre high and never bore than two flowers.

for COMMUTE ROUTE set:
SERIES 1. MY USUAL ROUTE (& POINTS IN COMMON TO ALL ROUTES).
I walk past this building at the end of my road, on my way to Brockwell Park and Herne Hill Station. I wanted to photograph this shrub growing out of the building, but waited until July so that I could catch it in flower.
My standard outward commuting route:
home > (walk) > Rosendale Road > (walk) > Brockwell Park > (walk) > Herne Hill station > (National Rail suburban service) > London Victoria station > (District/Circle Line) > South Kensington > (walk) > Natural History Museum.

The ‘garden escape’ shrub, Buddleia davidii here seen in flower, has done what it does all over London, colonising almost every available niche, gutter, crack and crevice in neglected buildings and other structures. This specimen has a substantial base growing out of just one small gap where the pointing has become loose between the bricks.
I’m amazed how it does this so successfully when there seems to be little or nothing for such a big plant to take root in and thrive. I once had one in a garden container with reasonable soil in it and it never got more than half a metre high and never bore more than two flowers.
The wall here is built of typical London bricks – London stocks, here very darkened by industrial pollution in former times. New and cleaned bricks are yellow ochre in colour and with cleaner air, they usually retain this colour.
