The Buddleia didn't have much action today, so I moved to the other side 
of the house where my late wife's Althea, or Rose of Sharon, bushes 
predominate.  Real, honest-to-goodness Bumble Bees have been scarce for 
the last few years.  I found one totally involved with a white bloom, 
but, as it departed, it flew directly in my face, letting me know it was 
his/her territory.

A couple of smaller butterflies were also working the area.  Here is a 
Silver-Sided Skipper on a lavender bloom.  (The blooms vary from pure 
white to deep rose).
