Thanks Sugarweed - I can ship the passion vines, too. Right now, I just have about 2 or 3 small ones potted up. It takes a while for them to really 'take' after you dig them up, and if the butterflies find them . . . well, you know they suddenly have lots fewer leaves than they did before! I am constantly moving the cats from my potted plants to the 'mother plant'!

8ftbed - you are right about mexican sunflowers - I have them every summer and the butterflies and hummers absolutely LOVE THEM. They are an excellent flower to attract the butterflies to your garden!
