They are some of my favorites on the zinnia threads.
I\'ve been paying more attention to my butterflies of late but here are a few things in the yard.
1,2 Campanula \'Pink Octopus\' makes a nice ground cover if you keep the stems cut back after blooming. I know a couple of posters pulled it out when they saw it spread but it doesn\'t produce seed for me and it is very low and shallow rooted.
3 Spigelia marilandica blooms again. Another one that never produces seeds.
4. Toadlily, I guess \'Gilt Edge\'
5. A lacecap hydrangea that I\'m considering removing from the garden.

Speaking of hydrangea, Margaret Roach interviewed Dan Hinkley on a few new hydrangea some of you might find interesting. You can just read it too.
