  1. This is a lovely post!

    We have a few Buddleia shrubs in the garden and those attract loads of butterflies!

    I plant almost all my flowers to attract bees and butterflies. Careful w/ butterfly bush, some of them are invasive (they're required to sell them sterile in Oregon now). Here are are some more from my garden my little friends go nuts over:

    Walkers low cat-mint (xeriscape too!)
    lavender (xeriscape)
    upright fuschia (part shade)
    lungwort (full shade, early spring)
    heather
    bleeding heart (shade)
    russian sage (xeriscape)

    I am sure I am forgetting some, but there is a few for people to checkout!
