<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Well there is a group of Buttonbush plants on the Martins River<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">in Lunenburg County. They are on a sand and gravel bar in the river<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">so I doubt anyone planted them there. Some day I'll go and take a picture.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the summer<br/></span>

There have  been a number of deliberate introductions of plants at the Frog Pond over the years, by enthusiastic horticulturalists/botanizers.

<div>
The most obvious are the rhododendrons, a la Pine Grove Park in Milton, Queen's County http://www.novascotia.com/see-do/outdoor-activities/pine-grove-park/1722
</div>
<div>
However I have also observed some less conspicuous plants, including Jack in the Pulpit.

Buttonbush is one I haven't seen yet, so good spotting, Burkhard.

<br/>> Buttonbush does not occur naturally around Halifax.
<br/>> It was planted in Point Pleasant Park after Hurricane Juan.
<br/>> Maybe it spread from there.
