Buddleja × weyeriana 'Moonlight'

Buddleja × weyeriana 'Moonlight' was one of the two original weyeriana cultivars (the other 'Golden Glow') raised by Major van de Weyer at his Corfe Castle home during the First World War.[1][2] The cultivar has acquired several synonyms in the British horticultural trade: 'Beech Park', 'Hocus Pocus', and 'Liberty'.

gollark: The greater problem is that it's unmaintained and anyone who might actually know the code well enough to work on it is now working on v2 and under NDAs for some bizarre reason.
gollark: Er, basically, there's some configuration set which probably isn't right for all environments, but that's not a complex fix either.
gollark: Oh, and it has some hardcoded paths.
gollark: Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to run; the only finicky part is that it needs a MySQL database and has a lot of random services, but the docker compose stuff handles that anyway.
gollark: The documentation for this is actually pretty good, and it's all dockerized.
