Since it was such a beautiful day, my husband and I went to our local nursery with a shopping list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We bought Coneflower, Aster, Gailardia and Wee Willie Mix. We also purchased some Curly Parsley in which butterflies like to lay their eggs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other choices for our garden could have included Black-Eyed Susan, Gayfeather, Orange Butterfly Milkweed and Bee Balm but sadly I could not find all of these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dill is another option for butterfly eggs. Some of these plants also attract hummingbirds as an added bonus!
