artcons, in my yard, I've seen the sulpher butterflies drinking nectar from three things - the lantana flowers, the red salvia (these are tube-shaped salvia - annuals and prolific spreaders), and surpsingly, impatiens. These are the larger plain yellow sulphers, not the dogfaced sulphers with black on them. I'll enclose a picture of one feeding on the impatiens, but they never open their wings for me, so a closed view is all I have...
