These are flowering plants that I have seen various butterflies on in my yard. I have seeds currently for the ones listed:

Yellow Four O'Clock
Yellow Flower Dwarf Poincina (large bush or small ornamental tree)
Scarlet Hibiscus
Purple Flowering Crepe Myrtle
Plumbago/Leadwort (which is also a host plant for the Cassius Blues)
Scarlet Milkweed (also host plant and I will have LOTS of seed soon!)

The two most POPULAR plants for nectar in my yard are (of which I have a small amount of seeds available at the moment - Should have more soon as the weather cools):
Yellow/orange flowering Lantana
Blue/purple flowering Porterweed (What I consider "Giant" version - but I have been told it is my garden soil and fertilizer that is making it so huge!)
