Butterfly garden

I've never lived anywhere else where people have such a passion for botany and horticulture, and made a conscious effort to grow California natives, provide food and "continual habitat" for wildlife
Sunflowers, native grasses, asters on the side walk

Plants that provide butterfly food in the fall
Zinnia, Lychnis, Coreopsis, Argyranthemum, Achillea, Rudbekia, Escallonia (mild attraction)
