Attracting Butterflies
Sure, that'd be great.

I don't know what they're called but I can find out if you'd like. -- Steve Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence. |

Boy, my friend and I are stumped but we'll keep looking. I *think* that it's some kind of lavender. I originally thought that it was English Lavender but I'm not sure now. It appears to be in that family though. -- Steve Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence. |

It appears to be in that family though. What about 'swan plants' (Asclepias physocarpa)? The Monarch butterflies love that one. They eat it to death if there aren't enough planted. "belongs to the milkweed family, and like all milkweeds they attract the lovely wanderer butterfly to the garden. The downside is that the seeds spread very easily throughout the garden on the breeze, so the plant does have some weed potential. Another problem is that it exudes a poisonous, milky sap. However it tastes bad and is not really the sort of thing you'd want to eat. Swan plants reach around 2m (6') tall, and can be grown in most parts of Australia.
