Hallo all, Buddleja davidii ( german name sommerflieder or schmetterlingsstrauch) is loved by butterflies, as the name suggests. I have this in my garden, not flowering yet.
Professor Singh ji, many of the flowers from Kashmir you uploaded, we find in Germany too. I wonder if you see Prunus laurocerasus in Kashmir. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_laurocerasus. This Shrub we have on the border to our neighbours. It is loved by Admirals, but not when the shrub flowers, but in autumn when the the berries grow.

I guess this also (we have B. asiatica in our garden at FRLHT) smells like honey. With regards R.
