was Monarchs: Eucalyptus.. now is exotics

 >Are you possibly speaking of Buddleia davidii, the famed "Butterfly

 >Oregon, it is becoming a problem.....

I understand it's a pest in England.   Only, I'm puzzled, because my 
experience in growing it in Indiana and also what I hear from my English 
friend is that it likes hot, sunny, very well-drained areas.   This doesn't 
sound right for a wetland invader, nor one in the Pacific Northwest.   !!??
