I had already posted this on the Texas forum, but I'll also put it here to show that Lion's Ear attracts butterflies quite a bit when it's blooming. These came up from scattered seed and some got up to 7 feet...guess all that summer rain made them go crazy. A few bent over in the winds, but the butterflies still find them.
The ironweeds are great, too. I've got Western Ironweed and Woolly Ironweed and when blooming they do attract the butterflies.
