That butterfly/bird garden is a wonderful thing. I plant for them also. I agree with Antoinette and would add P. jamesonii "Coral Seas" or "Coral Glow" and P. alato-caerulea, also called P. belotii, to the list of favorites of butterflies.

I don't think that is too much sun for your Passifloras.

You may want to also plant some butterfly bushes, called Buddleia davidii or sometimes Buddleja davidii. Butterflys and hummingbirds love them. Mexican salvia or any salvia is also a big draw for hummingbirds, and they really enjoyed my cannas this past summer as well.
