Those are pretty flowers, they seem to be indiginous to your country. When I looked them up here I just got Butternut Squash responses.

Button bush is an under used native plant. Honey bees love it and the flowers produce a nut that certain birds like to eat. It likes sun and moist/wet feet.

Yes, they are lovely. You could dig a little pond and then bring one home.

So that's what a Buttonbush flower looks like. The bug is cool.
